MACON, Ga. - Week three of the Atlantic Sun/CSS Game of the Week features the red-hot ETSU Buccaneers hosting the Lipscomb Bisons and Player of the Year Adnan Hodzic at 7 p.m.

Although the Bisons have won only once in their last three visits to Johnson City, Hodzic and Josh Slater have been enjoyed plenty of individual success and “the Dome”, each averaging better than 20 points per contest. Hodzic has shot 69.4 percent from the floor in the three games, including a 14-for-16 performance on Jan. 17, 2009. In Slater's last visit, Jan. 30, 2010, he scored a craeer-high 35 points as the Bisons pulled out an overtime victory.

Since hitting conference play, the Buccaneers have found scoring almost exclusively from its five starters (Mike Smith, Micah Williams, Isiah Brown, Justin Tubbs and Adam Sollazzo). In all eight games, they have accounted for at least 90 percent of the team’s scoring and never has the Buccaneer bench scored 10 points in game.

Matt Stewart and former ETSU head coach Sonny Smith will handle the broadcast. For those outside the CSS markets, catch all the action on ESPN3.com or on ESPN Full Court.
