CHARLESTON, S.C. - Charleston Southern hosts NCCAA member Carver Bible College Tuesday night to close their two-game homestand after a matchup with St. Andrews was canceled.

Charleston Southern and Carver meet for the first time in program history as the Cougars are the sixth NCCAA member the Bucs will have played - Columbia International, Carolina University (formerly Piedmont International), Judson, Ohio Christian and Southern Wesleyan. CSU is 11-1 all-time versus current NCCAA members having played CIU the most.

Tuesday marks the second-consecutive season the Cougars travel to Charleston after taking on The Citadel last December. Carver will also head to McAlister Fieldhouse just one night later to face the Bulldogs after they take on CSU.

Last Time Out

• Charleston Southern battled back from a 15-point second-half deficit Tuesday night but fell just shy in the final moments 70-63 to North Carolina A&T.
• A future Big South matchup, the Aggies spoiled the CSU's 2020-21 home opener escaping the Buccaneers' furious second-half rally that saw a 15-point margin cut to three in a span of 6:30 before closing it with free throws.
• Charleston Southern (0-3) saw the first career double-double from Ty Jones with 10 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, but turnovers proved costly Tuesday night as North Carolina A&T (2-2) turned 22 CSU miscues into 40 points on the other end.
• The Aggies were led offensively by do-it-all guard Kameron Langley who finished with 11 points, four rebounds, six assists and six steals. He was joined in double figures by Fred Cleveland (15 points), Tyler Maye (14 points) and Tyrone Lyons (12 points) as North Carolina A&T shot .404 from the field and only committed 11 turnovers.
• CSU freshman guard Ja'Quavian Florence continued his torrid start to his collegiate career scoring a team-high 15 points in 34 minutes while Sean Price added another near double-double with 11 points and eight rebounds, Malik Battle finished with 11 points and Melvin Edwards Jr. got to double figures for the first time with 12 on the night.
