Halftime Report

A win for UNCG would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead FGCU 44-30.

If UNCG keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, FGCU will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).

How To Watch

What to Know

The FGCU Eagles will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the UNCG Spartans. Tip off is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Greensboro Coliseum.

Looking back to last season, FGCU finished on the wrong side of .500 (14-17), but they'll be hoping to turn things around this year. On the other hand, UNCG had a stellar season and finished 21-10.

FGCU is hoping to beat the odds on Monday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They finished last season with a 14-13 record against the spread.

The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for FGCU considering the team was a sub-par 4-12 as the underdog last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 31 games they played last year would have netted $604.19. UNCG will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 15-6 as such last season.
