Episode Notes

It's a Thursday night matchup in the Scenic City as the UNCG Spartans head to "The Roundhouse" to take on the red-hot Chattanooga Mocs. With the Southern Conference standings tightening, this is a "must-win" situation for a Spartan team trying to snap a two-game slide and secure a top-six finish.

In this episode:

  1. The First Matchup: A look back at the January 1st season opener where UNCG took a 77-72 victory by dominating the interior and getting to the free-throw line 31 times.
  2. Battle of Styles: Why Chattanooga’s 3-point reliance (39% of their points) clashes with UNCG’s need to score from the charity stripe (21% of their points).
  3. Inside Presence: The importance of Justin Neely and K.J. Younger to pull the defense away from the perimeter.
  4. The Health Factor: How the availability and rhythm of Chattanooga’s personnel, specifically Collin Mulholland, could shift the tide for the Mocs.
  5. SoCon Founder's Day: A special tribute to the 105th anniversary of the Southern Conference, officially founded on February 25, 1921.

Can UNCG slow down Chattanooga's offense?
