PENSACOLA, Fla. - With five games remaining on the schedule, the University of West Florida men's basketball team will travel to Memphis, Tennessee and Jackson, Tennessee to face Christian Brothers University and Union (Tenn.) University.

The Argonauts (7-16, 3-14 GSC) will face the Christian Brothers Buccaneers (12-9, 9-8 GSC) Thursday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. CT at Canale Arena. The Bucs are currently sixth in the Gulf South Conference standings.

West Florida will then take on the Union (Tenn.) Bulldogs (16-7, 10-7 GSC) at 4 p.m. CT on Saturday, Feb. 14 in the Fred Delay Gymnasium.

Over half of the Gulf South Conference Tournament field was sealed up last week as five squads punch their tickets to the post-season with Alabama Huntsville, Shorter, West Georgia, West Alabama and Union extending their respective campaigns.  There was a changing of the guard atop the standings after a pair of wins by UAH coupled with back-to-back losses by SU and UWG vaulted the Chargers into sole possession of first-place (12-5).  UWA also benefited from consecutive home triumphs, moving into a three-way tie for second-place with Shorter and West Georgia at 11-6.  The entire Tournament field could be decided this Thursday as Christian Brothers, Delta State and North Alabama are on the cusp of securing spots.  CBU and DSU share sixth-place (9-8), while UNA and Mississippi College are tied for eighth-place at 8-9. 
 
There will be more shake up towards the top of the standings this week, as Shorter travels to West Georgia on Thursday before going to West Alabama on Saturday.  UWG and SU will keep the scoreboard operator busy as they rank first (86.6 ppg) and second (86.5) in scoring, respectively.  Alabama Huntsville seeks to build on its three-game winning streak, while also preserving its one-game first-place lead by traveling to Delta State on Thursday and Mississippi College on Saturday.  Christian Brothers and Delta State control their respective post-season destinies with wins on Thursday, while North Alabama needs a victory to strengthen its Tournament chances.  CBU hosts West Florida and Valdosta State this week, while UNA goes to DSU on Saturday.
