PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- The University of Pikeville men's and women's basketball teams head to one of the toughest places to play in the Mid-South Conference when they visit Cumberlands in Williamsburg on Saturday.

A live stream is available via the UC Sports Network.

The No. 12 UPIKE men are coming off a 12-point home win over No. 5 Georgetown, while the women snapped a six-game losing streak with a seven-point win over the Tigers on Saturday.

UPIKE and Cumberlands are set to meet for the 133rd time in the men's series. The Patriots have the all-time edge at 82-50, but over the past eight seasons Pikeville has put together a 9-7 record. During that span, the Bears are 6-1 in the East Ky. Expo Center, 3-4 on the road and 0-2 when facing Cumberlands at the MSC Tournament. In the last meeting, UPIKE won 67-66 behind 19 points from Darrion Leslie last season.

For the women, this is the 92nd meeting between the Bears and Patriots with Cumberlands leading the all-time series 64-27. UPIKE is 6-3 in the last nine outings, including wins in both regular-season matchups a season ago. The Bears have won five straight games in the series, last losing on Dec. 4, 2014 at home.
