My Thoughts:
UNCG and Wofford have a history of playing really close games. I would be lying if I said that I still wasn't still irritated thinking about last year's game in Fleming. Kyle Hines had the chance to send a game that UNCG had controlled (for the most part) into overtime with 2 made free throws. He made only 1 of 2 and that was that.

Wofford has fought through a lot of injuries and is finally getting healthy for the stretch run. UNCG has found confidence over the last few games. This sounds like the recipe for another nail bitter.

Go Spartans !!!
