The UNC Greensboro Spartans have been led by their defense which ranks t-49^th in scoring defense & 70^th in defensive FG%, however, the Spartans have really struggled on the offensive end and currently rank just 316^th in scoring offense & 258^th in FG%.

Wofford is a solid team, however, the Terriers just haven’t looked good as of late, especially on the offense end where they put up just a combined 110 points in their last two games. UNC Greensboro has been decent on the road this season, posting a 5-5 record and after seeing the Spartans offense put up 80 points on the road against East Tennessee State, I think UNC Greensboro keeps this one competitive and covers with the points. Good Luck!
