Players to Watch
Upstate: Leading the Spartans against UNC Asheville, junior guard Jada Logan poured in a career-best 26 points as she shot 11-of-17 from the floor and 2-of-5 from beyond the arc against the Bulldogs. Of her 26 points, 13 came in the first quarter, producing the game's scoring margin by herself in the first quarter. Logan's first career 20-point game makes her the fourth Spartan to notch a 20-plus point scoring effort this season.
 
High Point: Posting seven double-figure scoring games this season, Tennessee State transfer forward Jaden Wrightsell enters Wednesday's game as High Point's leading scorer. She averages 12.0 points per contest this season to lead the Panthers while adding in an average of 4.3 rebounds per game, ranking second on the team in the category.
