SERIES INFO
UNCW and Charleston will conclude their regular-season series on Thursday. The Seahawks prevailed 85-83 on the road in the first meeting on Jan. 23.

Eight of the previous nine meetings have been decided by single digits and the team that has won the first meeting has gone on to sweep the series (including CAA Tournament games) every year the rivalry has been played since 2018.

LAST TIME OUT
Greedy Williams went coast-to-coast to lay in the game-winning layup in the Seahawks' 81-79 double overtime victory at Drexel last Saturday to give UNCW its fourth straight 20-win season, the longest stretch in program history.

The Seahawks have scored 80 or more points in seven of their last eight games with at least four double-digit scorers in every game on their current eight-game win streak.

This is the ninth season since 1997 that UNCW has had at least an eight-game win streak, including three of the last four years under Head Coach Takayo Siddle, who was also an assistant coach at UNCW for two other streaks.

SCOUTING THE COUGARS
Charleston went 2-0 at home last weekend capped by an 88-83 overtime win over Elon.

CAA Preseason Player of the Year Ante Brzovic captured his third CAA Player of the Week honor after averaging 23.7 points and 9.0 rebounds across three games.

ON THE DOCKET
UNCW hosts Elon for its annual Homecoming Game on Saturday at 7 p.m.
