- The Mocs defeated UNCG just 11 days ago at McKenzie Arena, 58-45. UNCG led 26-20 at the break, but UTC's solid defense and sharp shooting made this game a run away in the second half.

- For the season, UTC is shooting 43.5% from the field, 34.1% from behind the arc and 64.3% from the free throw line.

My Thoughts:
In a weird scheduling twist, this is only the second game of the year that has occurred while UNCG has been in session. Maybe having some students in the crowd can add to the atmosphere and make things a little more electric at the coliseum.

UNCG played well in the first half at the roundhouse, but couldn't hit anything in the second half. Coupled with the Mocs hitting some difficult shots, the Spartans really didn't have a chance. Hopefully, the time off has given UNCG a chance to find their legs and get ready for a must win home game

Go Spartans !!!
