What to Know

The UNCW Seahawks are taking a road trip to face off against the Howard Bison at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Burr Arena. The Bison have the home-court advantage, but the Seahawks are expected to win by 4.5 points.

Howard is hoping to do what Marshall couldn't on Saturday: put an end to UNCW's winning streak, which now stands at four games. UNCW came out on top against Marshall by a score of 78-69.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead UNCW to victory, but perhaps none more so than Sean Moore, who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 16 rebounds. Moore continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Khamari McGriff, who went 5 for 6 en route to 13 points plus six rebounds and two blocks.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Howard). They claimed a resounding 124-50 victory over VA-Lynchburg. With that win, the Bison brought their scoring average up to 77.8 points per game.

Howard smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 27 offensive rebounds. That's the most offensive rebounds they've managed all season.

UNCW's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-2. As for Howard, with the win, they broke their four-game losing streak and moved their record to 4-6.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. UNCW hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 82.1 points per game. However, it's not like Howard struggles in that department as they've been averaging 77.8. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

UNCW came up short against Howard when the teams last played back in December of 2017, falling 80-75. Can UNCW avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
