So now that we are playing in the opening play-in round, its time to see what we can do on this road swing. We have 0 momentum and UNCW has a small amount. They have been much improved since Burke took over for McGrath. They still are not good. Seems like their play hinges on their freshman Phillips. He has been driving quite a bit so we need to stop him from getting to the basket. Linssen has come on strong and he hurt us some the last time we faced them. UNCW has not been a good road venue for us. While this was always a game I had penciled in as a loss, it is one we really need to win for confidence. We are already losers of 8 of the past 9. Heading into the tournament losers of 10 of the past 11 would not be a good thing. Lose this one and I am concerned as that would mean we lost road games to Elon and UNCW, 2 teams that, quite frankly, suck. That would be devastating for progress.
Vegas has UNCW as 1 point favorites. I see this also as a close back and forth game.
Drexel- 68
UNCW- 72
