The Francis Marion University men's basketball team will play host to USC Aiken on Wednesday (Jan. 20) at 6 p.m. in the Smith University Center.

The women's game between FMU and USCA has been postponed due to covid-19 close-contact protocols.  Officials hope to reschedule the contest at a later date.

Attendance for Wednesday's contest will be limited to 250 – only FMU season ticket holders, player/staff family members identified on pre-game team pass lists, and a limited number of FMU students that have picked up tickets ahead of time. No general admission game-day tickets will be sold.

The Francis Marion men have split their opening four Peach Belt Conference contests, while USCA is 3-2 overall and 2-1 in conference play.

Junior forward Langston Gaither leads FMU with a 23.3 points per game average, while senior swingman Holden Redparth is averaging 22.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest.

Senior 6-7 forward Anyeuri Castillo paces four USCA players averaging in double digits with 16.4 ppg.

The Patriots lead the all-time series that dates back to 1976 by a 48-44 count.
