COLUMBIA, Ky.- The Lindsey Wilson men's basketball team travels to Barbourville, Kentucky to face Union on Saturday at 3 p.m. CST at Robsion Arena
 
The Blue Raiders, who enter play with a 10-2 record, are coming off a 94-69 loss against NCAA Division I Southern in an exhibition on Tuesday. Lindsey Wilson has been playing well-rounded basketball and is now receiving votes in the NAIA Top 25 Poll. Lindsey Wilson has three double-digit scorers led by Julian Cunnigham who is averaging 17.8 points per game. Kenyata Carbon is averaging 17.7 points per game, and Daivel Jackson adds 13.5 points per game. The Blue Raiders are averaging 88.3 points per game, ranking third in the Mid-South Conference, and they hope to carry that momentum into Saturday's game against a Bulldogs squad that allows 76.3 points per game. Lindsey Wilson looks to continue shooting lights out where they convert on 51.4 percent of their shots while shooting 43.2 percent from three, sitting first in the MSC. 

Union (5-6) enters the game averaging 75.7 points per game. The Bulldogs leading scorer, junior guard Jeremiah Stroman, is averaging 16.8 points per game and will be a focal point for the Blue Raider defense. The Blue Raider defense will also focus on Kenny Garth, who averages 13.5 points per game, and Kaleb Hedgepeth, who brings in 11.1 points per game. Lindsey Wilson's defense holds opponents to just 69.5 points per game while they shoot just 39.9 percent from the field. Coach Chris Starks will emphasize defense as the key to slowing down the Bulldogs' offensive trio. 

Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. CST at Robsion Arena.
