JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 3, 2005) -- After a 10-day break from action, the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team will return to Southern Conference play Saturday evening when they travel to Spartanburg, S.C., to take on the Wofford Terriers. Tip is set for 7 p.m.

The Bucs (6-13, 2-7) are hoping to improve their fortunes in the final eight games of the regular season, a stretch which will include five straight home games. Both the Bucs and Terriers have battled injuries to key personnel this season and their results on the floor are proof of those struggles -- currently, Wofford is just 9-10, 2-6.

Fans can listen to the live broadcast of the game on any of the Mountain States Health Alliance Buccaneer Sports Network radio affiliates, or by clicking on the network logo located at ETSUBucs.com.
