Matchup Breakdown

UNCG scores 79.0 points per game and leans into aggression. The Spartans draw fouls at a top-50 national rate and shoot well enough from deep to punish soft closeouts. Justin Neely anchors the offense, coming off a 22-point, 14-rebound performance, while KJ Younger adds physicality and secondary scoring.

Wofford’s edge comes from shot quality and ball movement. They average nearly 77 points per game and knock down more than nine three-pointers per contest. Nils Machowski is coming off a 37-point explosion, and Kahmare Holmes continues to control tempo as the primary facilitator. Defensively, Wofford forces turnovers and converts them into transition looks, which matters against a UNCG team that can get loose with the ball.
