UNCG played a bad 20 minutes of basketball against College of Charleston on Thursday night just like they had on December 5. The difference between the 2 games was that unlike the game in Fleming, this one was over with by halftime. The Cougars hit 12 3 pointers in the first half and led 55-37 at the break.

The Good:
-Ben Stywall had an amazing stat line 26 points, 9 rebounds, 5 steal & 0 fouls. Damian Eargle scored 22 points and had 6 rebounds.
- UNCG only turned the ball over 8 times outrebounded CofC 34-31 (13-8 offensive rebounds).

The Bad:
- 20% (2-10) from behind the arc and 41.8% (28-67) overall shooting from the field.
- UNCG point guards (Spooner, Smith & Oliver) combined stats - 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist & 5 turnovers. Even their minutes were limited (Spooner-14, Smith-4, Oliver-14).

The Ugly:
Mikko Koivisto - 0 points (0-8 from the field, 0-6 from 3 point range and 0-1 from the free throw line).
- College of Charleston shot 55.6% (35-63) from the field and 59.1% (13-22) from behind the arc. That's pretty awful defense. I don't think it's possible to beat a team when they shoot that well.
