What to Know

UNCG and the Buccaneers are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2020, but not for long. Both teams will face off in a Southern battle at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Freedom Hall. UNCG has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 11 more assists than your opponent, a fact UNCG proved on Wednesday. They blew past the Keydets, posting a 100-58 victory at home.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers didn't have too much trouble with the Bulldogs on the road on Wednesday as they won 81-63.

The Spartans are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 21-9 record this season. As for the Buccaneers, their victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 15-15.

Keep an eye on the arc in Saturday's contest: UNCG have been dynamite from deep this season, having drained 40.2% of their threes per game. It's a different story for ETSU, though, as they've only made 30% of their threes this season. Given UNCG's sizable advantage in that area, the Buccaneers will need to find a way to close that gap.

Looking forward, UNCG is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. This contest will be their eighth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 3-3 against the spread).
