This quote from the Akron Beacon Journal's article sums up my thoughts of the game.

UA took uncontested shots inside and outside all night in a one-sided game that seemed over soon after it started.

Positives
- Another big game for Evans --- Brandon Evans continues to be a bright spot for the Spartans. Evans led UNCG with 13 points and 7 rebounds. Brandon has done a really good job of attacking the basket and finding open teammates.

Negatives
- Slow starts --- UNCG got down 18-4 to start the game off. It was over after that. UNCG continues to play very poorly at the beginning of games and spend the rest of the time playing catch up. With three ACC teams and a very good A-10 team coming up on the schedule, things could be ugly for a while.
- No Fight --- In every game this season, the Spartans have found a way to crawl back into each game. The Zips never had to worry about that on Friday night.

The Spartans have a quick turn around to their next game. UNCG travels to Richmond to play a noon game on Tuesday. So, there's no time to dwell on the loss. Hopefully Coach Dement can make some quick adjustments and get the guys to playing better soon.
