Thoughts
This was easily he best game UNCG played all season. They shared the ball (19 team assists), shot it well (60%) and played solid defense. Trevis Simpson continued his extreme tear, while being joined in double figures by 3 other teammates.

This was also UNCG's first road win in a venue that has plagued them over the past several season. Hopefully the team can use this as a jump start to the rest of the weekend (and the season).

Go Spartans !!!
