Thoughts
Absolutely UNCG's best defensive effort of the season and it showed on the scoreboard big time. I thought that Trevis Simpson really got into playing defense and it rubbed off on all of his teammates  Also, freshman PG Jordan Potts seemed to give the Spartans a spark of energy off the bench.

I also was impressed to see UNCG run a lot of actual offensive actions and find out good shots, not just random 3 pointers. It showed in that the Spartans only took 12 total 3 pointers. Trevis Simpson and Derrell Armstrong got back to doing what they do best, in driving the ball to the basket.

Overall it was just an impressive performance by a team that really needed to have a showing like that at home. I hope now they can build on that success and start a winning streak. Go Spartans !!!
