VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State men's basketball returns to The Complex on Sunday, Jan. 4, hosting Delta State in a Gulf South Conference matchup scheduled for 4 p.m..

The Blazers enter the contest looking to bounce back after Friday night's game against Mississippi College. VSU showed resilience despite the final result, battling throughout the second half and increasing its defensive pressure and offensive pace after halftime. The Blazers received strong production off the bench and continued to attack the basket, cutting into the deficit and competing until the final minutes.

Valdosta State will look to carry that second-half energy into Sunday's matchup, focusing on consistency on both ends of the floor. Balanced scoring and depth have been key strengths for the Blazers this season, and maintaining that rhythm will be important against a disciplined Delta State squad.

Delta State brings a physical presence and defensive mindset into the matchup, making rebounding and execution crucial factors. Playing at home provides an opportunity for VSU to set the tone early and feed off the energy inside The Complex.

Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. as Valdosta State looks to protect home court and secure an important Gulf South Conference victory.
