Cumberland (Tenn.) vs Campbellsville (KY)

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. (Interstat) — The Campbellsville Tigers will look to complete a regular-season sweep when they host the Cumberland Phoenix in an NAIA men’s basketball matchup on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026.

The Tigers (14-7) defeated the Phoenix (7-11) 72-56 in Lebanon, Tennessee, on Jan. 22, part of a recent skid for Cumberland, which has lost three of its last four games. Campbellsville has also struggled lately, dropping four of its last five contests, including an 84-61 loss at Cumberlands on Monday.

A key matchup will feature two of the Mid-South Conference’s top forwards. Cumberland’s Zaylin Rowland is coming off a 20-point, four-rebound performance in Monday’s loss to Freed-Hardeman. The junior averaged 16.5 points in two games last week but was held to just seven points in the previous meeting with Campbellsville.

He will be countered by Campbellsville’s Ra Briggs, who posted 15 points and eight rebounds against Cumberlands. Briggs was a force in the Jan. 22 win over Cumberland, contributing seven points, seven rebounds and two blocks. His interior presence will be central to the Tigers’ game plan.

For Cumberland to reverse the earlier result, it will need more support for Rowland. Freshman Triston Conger, who scored 17 points Monday, and Jordan Jenkins, who grabbed eight rebounds, must provide consistent secondary scoring. Campbellsville will rely on guard Tyshay Epps, who led the team with 17 points in its last outing, to spark its offense.

The game is a crucial conference fixture for both teams as they navigate the final stretch of the regular season. Campbellsville will aim to protect its home court and solidify its standing, while Cumberland seeks a pivotal road victory to build momentum before hosting Cumberlands on Feb. 12.
