This game was a deja vu game for most UNCG fans sitting in the Greensboro Coliseum. Play poor in the first half. Make a furious second half run. Run out of gas at the end. However, this one played out a little different. The Spartans played very good second half defense, but just couldn't get a rebound at the end of a possession. Western Carolina had 22 offensive rebounds which turned into 22 second chance points. Kyle Randall scored 20 points (18 in the second half) had 9 rebounds and 3 assists for UNCG. Ben Stywall added 12 points and 9 rebounds.

The game in Alumni Gym was the mirror opposite of the one played just a few weeks earlier in the Greensboro Coliseum. Elon shot out to a big lead in the first half, only to have to hang on in the second. UNCG just couldn't get over the hump. The Phoenix used a balanced attack as four different players scored in double figures. Meanwhile for the Spartans, 2 players carried almost all of the load. Ben Stywall had 22 points and 11 rebounds. Mikko Koivisto added 19 points on six 3 pointers. The loss snapped a streak of 7 straight UNCG wins over its backyard rival.
