Recap Action

Massive apologies for getting so far behind blogging. I've had the flu this week and it has really kicked my ass. Today is the first day in a while that I've had the energy to sit at the computer. So, let's get to looking at the last couple of games.

I didn't get to see or hear any of the game because I was out of town. From the look of things on the stat sheet, UNCG really wasn't too competitive in this game. Wofford shot 57.7% from the floor. Ben Stywall lead UNCG with 18 points and 8 rebounds. Kyle Randall scored 10.

In a very close game, it was UNCG that went cold at the end. The Spartans managed to hit just one field goal over the last 7 minutes and App State surged ahead to the win. Kyle Randall continued his good play as of late by scoring 18 points. Mikko Koivisto added 16 points, but shot just 3-13 behind the arc to get those points. The Spartans defense did a good job on App State guard Donald Sims. However, they were forced to put him at the free throw line at the end of the game, where he is almost automatic. UNCG did a solid job of holding on to the basketball (7 turnovers). However, the Mountaineers out rebounded the Spartans 35-25 and got several big offensive rebounds when the game was on the line. Ben Stywall did not make a single shot from the floor.

Because of a scheduling quirk, UNCG won't play again until next Monday. The Spartans will host Western Carolina at the Greensboro Coliseum.
