Good piece on the UNCG/Woffy game. https://www.greensboro.com/sports/colle ... 1b871.html
This article scares me about Wofford. They started strong (we tend to start slowly) and before you could blink UNCG was down 14-0. They beat the tar out of UNCG son the boards (1 offensive rebound in first half out of 20 chances for UNCG in first half). Wofford played great defense and shot well. That is pretty much how FU lost to LSU and ETSU. Beating UNCG would give us momentum for the Wofford game next Saturday.
Good news is that UNCG would have had to play full tilt catchup for four quarters.
The starters play very little in the last 8 minutes.

Does anyone know the link for today's live stats? There isn't a separate article about this game. When I clicked on the live stats, I got the VMI game. Thanks in advance for any help! Go Paladins!

Early games today - Western Carolina lead the entire way to beat the Citadel by 12. The Citadel lost despite taking 21 more shots and forcing Western Carolina into 29 turnovers. Key stat - the Citadel hit 6-43 three point shots. Wofford only lead by 2 at halftime at VMI and by 6 with 9 and a half minutes left but used a long VMI scoring drought to leave with a 90-76 victory. VMI outrebounded Wofford by 5 and hit 50% of their shots, including over 40% of their threes. VMI's 22 turnovers probably the difference.

That’s two terrible charging calls in a row. Terrible.

My son is at the game. Says the UNCG fans agree about those two bad calls. Both teams playing well.

Alonso eyes light up when he sees Furman. Not sure but don't think he has ever missed a shot against FU. Yes refs are terrible.

They have scored as many in the first half against FU as they did the whole game against WC. Not a good finish to the first half. UNCG is the one team we can't seem to beat.

Can’t give Alfonso any room at all. Great shooter. Turnovers are killing us. So are their second and third chance points.
