Charleston (17-7, 13-7) travels to Wheeling Jesuit (16-8, 13-7) in a matchup of top-5 teams in the league. The Cardinals hold a slight edge over No. 5 UC in the conference ratings, but a win over Jesuit would vault UC into the No. 4 slot.
The Golden Eagles wrap up their season Saturday against the Yellow Jackets. That game is set for 4 p.m. in Institute.
Four West Virginia Conference teams appear in the Atlantic Region men's basketball poll, led by No. 1 West Liberty.
