Spartanburg, SC – Wofford men's basketball turned UNCG over on its first three possessions but were unable to come away with any points, ultimately dropping the contest 58-47 to the Spartans.

The Terriers were tasked with overcoming another slow start, surrendering an 8-0 run to UNCG going into the first media break while missing their first seven shots. A brief drought from Spartans allowed Wofford to claim a 10-8 lead at the 11:40 mark but were outscored 30-16 the rest of the way with nine turnovers and 2-for-14 perimeter shooting.

Wofford pulled within nine at the 13:00 minute mark of the second half, but UNCG rattled off a quick 5-0 run in the following 99 seconds leading into the under 12 media timeout and didn't allow the Terriers any closer than 11 the rest of the game.
As a team, the Terriers turned in a season low 32.6% from the field and 20% from beyond the three-point line while committing a season high 18 turnovers. Junior
