UNCG @ Miami (Fla.)

Current Records: UNCG 1-0; Miami (Fla.) 1-0

What to Know

The Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the UNCG Spartans at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 11 at Watsco Center. The Hurricanes were 26-11 last season and are coming off of a 67-54 win against the Lafayette Leopards on Monday. UNCG was 17-15 last year and is coming off of a 93-60 victory against the Johnson & Wales (NC) Wildcats on Monday.

A pair of last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Miami (Fla.) was 32nd best (top 9%) in field goal percentage, finishing the 2021-2022 season at 47.30%. Less enviably, the Spartans were 49th worst when it came to points per game last year, with the squad coming up with only 65.1 on average (bottom 91%). The good news for UNCG, of course, is that these forces working against them might not carry over into the new season.

Miami (Fla.) has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
