UNCG wore their gold uniforms on Sunday and the result was similar to the East Carolina game. The guys came out lifeless and played with no energy. The defense was poor and they couldn't hit shots. Also, they wore the same gold uniforms against ECU.

Positives
- Brandon Evans --- Brandon was basically the entire offense for the Spartans. When it appeared UNCG had never seen a zone before, Evans would drive to the basket and make something happen.
- Zooperstars --- Yes, that's right. The Spartans brought so little excitement to the court that the other highlight was the fake animals dancing to N' Sync.

Negatives
- Defense --- Princeton shot 50% and got any kind of shot they wanted, whenever they wanted.
- Shooting --- UNCG shot 38% from the field, but just 14.3% (2-14) from 3 point range. It really feels like UNCG has missed every big 3 point attempt they've tried at home this year.

That's all I've got. There is not another home game until after Christmas. That should be long enough for me to re-charge and get excited about going to coliseum all over again. Hopefully the Spartans can go and get a win (or two actually) on the road between now and then.

No Home Court Advantage

From the N&R:

"We're more alert on the road," he said. "At home we seem nervous. We're
different. It's confusing to us as a staff."

And to us as fans.

From the N&R:

The defeat marks the sixth straight for UNCG at Fleming. One more loss
would match the longest home losing streak since the end of the 1991-92 and
beginning of the 1992-93 seasons.

-It took me over 5 minutes to find the Samford-UNCG article in Samford's own hometown newspaper. There were tons of Auburn football (and even basketball stories) though.
