BREVARD, N.C. - The Brevard College men's basketball team (6-18, 5-12 USAS) will play host to Huntingdon College (12-12, 9-8 USAS) on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. in the season finale at the Boshamer Gymnasium. 

The Tornados will honor its three seniors - Demari Hopper, Levi Lamb, and Qadhafi Turner - prior to Saturday's contest.

Hopper, a senior from Gastonia, North Carolina, has averaged a career-best 12.7 points-per-game through the course of his senior season. His 114 career steals ranks top-five in BC's NCAA-era, and he has accumulated 601 career points. 

Lamb, a senior from Atlanta, has had a record-breaking senior campaign in which he eclipsed the 1,000 career point threshold and set the BC NCAA-era record for career 3-pointers made, with 146 and counting. Lamb is placed right behind his classmates Hopper and Turner in the record books with 103 career steals, and his 86 career blocks are second-most in BC's NCAA-era. All told, he has amassed 1,156 career points, which ranks fourth in BC's NCAA-era. 

Turner, a senior from Wilmington, North Carolina, has swiped 104 career steals to vault into the top-five in BC's NCAA-era record book. Making starting appearances in 33 games over the last two seasons, Turner has racked up 461 career points to-date. In his junior season, Turner averaged a career-best 9.8 points-per-game and swiped two steals-per-contest. 

Huntingdon comes into Saturday's game having clinched a spot in the USA South Conference Men's Basketball Tournament following a 9-8 record to-date in conference play. 

BC and Huntingdon met one time earlier this season, as the Tornados took a thrilling 83-81 victory on January 24 in Montgomery, Alabama. There, Junior forward Cannon Lamb scored 26 points, just one point shy from his career-high, on 10-of-18 shooting from the field with three made 3-pointers. Senior forward Levi Lamb stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, three boards, three assists, and two blocks, while Joshua Wilson rejected a game-high four shots. Senior guard Qadhafi Turner scored 12 points off the bench on a perfect 3-of-3 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line.
