What to Know

The South Carolina Upstate Spartans' road trip will continue as they head to Smith-Hammond-Middleton Center at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday to face off against the South Carolina State Bulldogs. South Carolina State should still be riding high after a win, while the Spartans will be looking to get back in the win column.

Last Thursday, South Carolina Upstate lost to the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers on the road by a decisive 56-43 margin.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between South Carolina State and the St Andrews Knights last week was still a pretty decisive one as South Carolina State wrapped it up with a 67-53 victory at home.

Barring any buzzer beaters, South Carolina Upstate is expected to win a tight contest. They hadn't treated fans well this season, but they at least enjoy a 3-0 record against the spread.

The Spartans came out on top in a nail-biter against the Bulldogs when the teams previously met two seasons ago, sneaking past 73-70. Will South Carolina Upstate repeat their success, or does South Carolina State have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
