Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Cullowhee, North Carolina for a matchup of two of the top teams in the Southern Conference where the Western Carolina Catamounts host the UNC-Greensboro Spartans. UNC-G has won five out of their last six overall, but the lone loss was a 79-70 game at Samford that has at the moment relegated the Spartans to second place in the SoCon. In their most recent game, Mikeal Brown-Jones scored 29 points to lead the Spartans to an 82-59 win at home against Wofford.

Western Carolina finds itself in a four-way tie for third place at the moment with Chattanooga, Wofford and Furman. They have a home win against Wofford and a road loss at Furman which gives them a 1-1 record against the group at the moment. The loss at Furman came at the buzzer; it was even more painful as they were coming off of a home loss against Samford. Vonterius Woolbright leads the Catamounts with 21.1 points per game.
