What to Know
The Samford Bulldogs are 1-12 against the UNCG Spartans since January of 2016, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. Samford is on the road again on Saturday and plays against UNCG at 5 p.m. ET Jan. 22 at Greensboro Coliseum. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
On Thursday, the Bulldogs lost to the VMI Keydets on the road by a decisive 99-80 margin.
Meanwhile, the Spartans came up short against the Chattanooga Mocs on Thursday, falling 72-64.
Samford is now 11-7 while UNCG sits at 10-8. Two stats to keep an eye on: Samford is stumbling into the game with the 28th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 75.7 on average. UNCG has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 19th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 63.3 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
