LAGRANGE, Ga. – LaGrange (11-6, 3-1 CCS) men's basketball has been doing their best impersonation of Mel Gibson as Road Warriors and will now benefit from their first home game in a month when they host Covenant (4-11, 0-2 CCS) on Tuesday, January 17. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at Mariotti Gym.
The Panthers have not graced their home court since a 73-59 victory over Mississippi University for Women on December 16. In that time they have played their last eight games on the road, winning five and including three straight before falling 87-78 at Belhaven on January 14.
Covenant, meanwhile, comes in having lost four in a row, including losses to Greenville (108-103 on 12/10), Birmingham Southern (81-79 on 12/28), Maryville (75-67 on 1/3) and Berea (74-71 on 1/11).
