LAST TIME OUT
The Spartans fought until the end against Furman, showing poise down the stretch to close out the 59-53 win. Alexus Willey (12 points on 4-for-4 from 3-point range) and Te'ja Twitty (12 rebounds, nine points) put together groundhog day stat lines, matching their numbers from the previous game. The win inches UNCG closer to the program all-time winning streak record (currently 13 games), and gives confirmation to the bracket builders that this team from Greensboro belongs in the round of 64. 

SCOUTING WOFFORD
The Terriers are gaining momentum, having won two straight and four of their last five games. Led by 2019-20 SoCon preseason Player of the Year, Chloe Winink (16.8 ppg), Wofford boasts the top scoring offense (72.6) and three-point percentage (37.5) in the conference. Junior guard Da'Ja Green has combined with Winink to create a dangerous 1-2 punch, averaging 12.8 ppg and roughly 5 1/2 assists per game. The Terriers are coming off a 76-63 home win vs. Western Carolina. They'll wrap up the three-game homestand on Saturday, February 1 against Furman.
