Storylines:
• UNCG hits the road for its Southern Conference opener on Thursday as the Spartans travel to Spartanburg, S.C. to face the defending SoCon Tournament Champions, Wofford. Thursday will mark the 25th meeting between the two schools, with the Terriers holding a 15-9 advantage all-time, including the last seven meetings. Last season, the Terriers defeated the Spartans in the quarterfinals on their way to winning the SoCon Tournament last year with a 59-47 win in Charlotte.

• UNCG is winless in its five outings, facing three very tough opponents. VCU (4-1), Virginia Tech (4-2) and Florida State (5-2) are combined 13-5 thus far this season with two of the losses in the group being Virginia Tech's loss at fourth-ranked Kansas State and VCU's near-miss against No. 24 Tennessee.

• Against N.C. A&T, the final score wasn't indicative of the game. UNCG led for most of the first half and the Spartans trailed by just three points with just over two minutes remaining, but the Aggies ended the game on a 19-4 run.

• The Spartans have had a considerably new look over the last two seasons. In fact, just one person in uniform today was in uniform in the 2008-09 opener at Charlotte – Elhanan Bone.  Brandon Evans was sitting out after transferring from East Carolina and Darrius Sellers was injured. From then to tonight, there are 15 new players on the UNCG roster, five that made their debut at VCU and three more that made their debut against Florida St.

• The Spartans were picked anywhere from third through sixth this season in the preseason poll. The Southern Conference's coaches poll had UNCG fourth in an always tight North Division race.

• UNCG returns just one starter from last season, that being point guard Kyle Randall. In all, the Spartans returns 28.5 points per game from last season (averaged 63.4 as a team).
