UNC Greensboro Spartans Carry Momentum into Quarterfinal
The UNC Greensboro Spartans enter the SoCon tournament quarterfinal with a 14-18 overall record and a 9-9 conference record. The Spartans advanced to this round after an 84-70 victory over VMI in the first round. Over their last five games, UNC Greensboro has recently won over VMI and Chattanooga, while recently losing to Samford, East Tennessee State, and Western Carolina.
UNC Greensboro has been one of the more productive offensive teams in the conference, averaging 78.7 points per game. However, defense has been a challenge as the Spartans allow 80.7 points per contest. They shoot 46% from the field, grab 35.3 rebounds per game, and average 12.8 assists per contest. On the defensive side, they generate 5.6 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, numbers that show they can disrupt opposing offenses but still struggle with consistency.
In their opening-round win over VMI, KJ Younger led the Spartans with 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting while going a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line, providing a major offensive spark. Justin Neely controlled the boards with 10 rebounds, including several key defensive rebounds that helped UNC Greensboro maintain momentum. The Spartans also shot 50% from the field and committed only nine turnovers, a level of efficiency they will need to replicate against a rested Wofford squad.

Wofford Terriers Rested After First-Round Bye
The Wofford Terriers finished the regular season with a 19-12 overall record and an 11-7 SoCon record, earning a first-round bye in the conference tournament. Over their last five games, Wofford has recently lost to The Citadel and Furman, while recently winning over East Tennessee State and VMI, and recently losing to UNC Greensboro earlier in the season.
Wofford has been one of the better scoring teams in the conference, averaging 79.0 points per game while allowing 77.2 points per contest. The Terriers shoot 46% from the field, pull down 34.8 rebounds per game, and average 14.1 assists per game, showing strong ball movement offensively. Defensively they record 5.8 steals and 3.1 blocks per game, providing solid interior protection.
In their most recent game, a 93-90 overtime loss to The Citadel, Nils Machowski delivered a huge performance with 30 points, keeping Wofford competitive throughout the contest. Rex Stirling led the team on the glass with 9 rebounds, helping the Terriers finish with a 38-29 rebounding advantage. Despite the loss, Wofford shot 52% from the field and 38% from three-point range, showing that the offense remains dangerous heading into this quarterfinal matchup.
UNC Greensboro vs Wofford Pick
UNC Greensboro vs Wofford Spread Pick
- Pick: Wofford Terriers - Moneyline
Wofford enters this quarterfinal as the slightly more balanced and rested team. While UNC Greensboro picked up a strong win over VMI in the opening round, the Spartans have struggled defensively all season, allowing more than 80 points per game. Wofford’s offensive depth and efficient shooting could exploit those defensive issues. The Terriers also benefit from extra rest thanks to their bye, which should help them handle UNC Greensboro’s tempo and execute more consistently in the half-court.
UNC Greensboro vs Wofford Total Pick
- Pick: Over
I like the over in this matchup because both teams have shown they can score in bunches. UNC Greensboro averages nearly 79 points per game, while Wofford averages 79 points per contest as well. The Spartans just scored 84 points in their first-round win, and Wofford’s most recent game went into overtime and finished with 183 total points. With both teams capable of pushing the pace and hitting perimeter shots, this game has strong potential to turn into a high-scoring quarterfinal.
Final Score Prediction: Wofford 84, UNC Greensboro 80
