Over the next couple of weeks we will look at each team in the Big South and their prospectus for the 2013-14 season. Today we start with the Presbyterian Blue Hose.
The Blue Hose finished this past season in last place in the South Division with a 4-12 conference mark and 8-24 overall record. Presbyterian lost in the first round of the Big South Tournament in overtime to Campbell 81-73.
