Wofford report

The Terriers currently have a five-game winning streak on their home court, their longest since the 2011-12 season. Their nonconference record is the best since that season as well. The Terriers have been paced by Washington and Fleming, who lead the team in scoring and rebounding, but the program has only defeated the Mocs twice in 44 all-time meetings.

Key matchup

The Mocs aren't as good offensively as they have been in recent years, but they're just as good on the defensive end of the court. They'll need to be solid against Wofford, which is prone to turning the ball over (the Terriers average 18.8 turnovers per game); the Mocs should be able to turn some of those mishaps into points on the offensive end, which could jump-start the scoring for future games.
