UNC-Wilmington (14-5, 4-2) at Charleston (15-4, 5-1) – 7:00 PM ET (FloHoops)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day figures to be a dandy as the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks travel down Highway 17 to take on the Charleston Cougars in a matchup of two of the top teams in the CAA. Conference play wasn’t initially kind to Wilmington after losing their conference opener to Towson at home, but the Seahawks have won four out of their last five games. On Monday, Bo Montgomery scored 24 points as UNC-W beat William & Mary 85-74 to knock the Tribe down to a 3-way tie for first place along with Charleston and Towson.
Charleston has currently won two straight games after a surprising loss at Monmouth 12 days ago along the Jersey Shore. The road does get tougher for Chris Mack’s crew over the next four games; Elon and William & Mary will also be looming as the Cougars get into the heart of conference play. Ante Brzovic averages 18.5 points a game and 8.4 rebounds a game for Charleston.
