Salem (6-16) is coming off a 95-90 loss Thursday at Ohio Valley University. The Tigers cut a 19-point third-quarter deficit down to a single point in the final minute before Ohio Valley sealed the win from the free throw line. Endia Jones led Salem with a season-high 23 points to go with eight rebounds. The Tigers' comeback was fueled by 10-for-17 (58.8 percent) shooting from the floor in the fourth quarter.
 
Ironically, Alderson Broaddus (6-19) has played on Salem's home floor more recently than the Tigers. Due to repairs at its home gym, Alderson Broaddus's game against nationally 22nd-ranked Kentucky Wesleyan Saturday was played at the TED. The Battlers fell 89-54.
 
In the two teams' first meeting this season, Salem fell 86-66 December 11 at Alderson Broaddus. Nerea Arambarri Fernandez led the Tigers with 18 points.

Salem is back home again Saturday as the Tigers play host to Bluefield State College. Imari Bowers, Aaliyah Holmes, Reeva Jackson, Endia Jones and Precious Price will be honored during Senior Day ceremonies. Tip-off is 2 p.m.
