NC Greensboro plus 1 at East Tennessee State
Everything is on the line for North Carolina Greensboro here and I believe the Spartans will respond with a victory.
If NC Greensboro defeats East Tennessee State and Furman loses on the road to Wofford than the Spartans capture the Southern Conference title and No. 1 seed for the league tournament to be held March 5-8. That’s because the Spartans have a .706 winning percentage, while Furman has a .714 win percentage.
It’s win percentage that determines the Southern Conference regular-season champion. The Furman-Wofford game tips off three hours later than this one.
The Spartans have revenge for a 71-61 home loss to East Tennessee State back on Jan. 2. The Buccaneers aren’t playing as well now as they were back then going 2-5 SU and ATS in their last seven games, including suffering a seven-point home loss to Mercer and a two-point road loss to Tennessee-Chattanooga in their last two games.
The Buccaneers could be rusty, too. They last played 10 days ago, having had their past two games called off.
East Tennessee State averaged just 57.5 points in its past two games.
Greensboro has produced at least 77 points in four of its past five games. The Spartans, who have covered eight of their last 10 away contests, will have the best player on the court in Isaiah Miller, who averages 18.4 points a game.
