UNC-Greensboro (22-4, 11-2 SoCon) at Wofford (22-4, 14-0 SoCon) – 7:00 PM EST (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Spartanburg, South Carolina between a pair of SoCon heavyweights – the Wofford Terriers play host to the UNC-Greensboro Spartans. Wofford enters tonight’s game two and a half games ahead of UNC-G and can clinch the #1 seed in the SoCon tournament with a win tonight. Wofford won the first matchup by 29 points at Greensboro and is in the midst of a 13-game winning streak. While Fletcher Magee had 18 points in Wofford’s last win against VMI, he is still averaging 19.9 points per game and also had 30-point performances in their prior two games.
The Spartans come into tonight’s game with a little more urgency in regards to their NCAA Tournament atl-large hopes. They had an eight-game winning streak snapped at Furman on Thursday night; they now have a season split with the Paladins. Their other win of note was at East Tennessee State; that is one reason the Spartans are now in the #2 slot in the conference. Francis Alonso leads the Spartans with 16.9 points per game.
