SERIES INFO
UNCW leads the all-time series against Northeastern, 18-17, since the Huskies joined the Coastal Athletic Association for the 2005-06 season. Seahawks head coach Takayo Siddle is a perfect 5-0 against Northeastern.

Thursday will mark UNCW's Solomon Court debut following the closure of Matthews Arena in December 2025.

LAST TIME OUT
Redshirt junior Patrick Wessler's well-rounded effort of 19 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and two steals pushed UNCW past Hampton, 49-45, in a Saturday night Coastal Athletic Association men's basketball contest at Trask Coliseum.

Wessler, who became the first NCAA Division I player this season to post a 19-14-6 stat line, also tied the program record with rejections and equaled his personal benchmark in rebounds. Senior Christian May finished three points shy of a double-double with seven points and a season-high-tying 10 rebounds.

NOW AIRING: TIDAL RISING
Seventy-five seasons ago, a vision for basketball in Wilmington began with little more than belief. From modest beginnings to the rise of Trask Coliseum and the battles that followed, UNCW men's basketball has been shaped by moments of growth, resilience, and expectation.

Tidal Rising, presented by Southeast Mortgage, is a documentary series that traces that journey — the people, the places, and the seasons that built the program — while looking ahead to a future still driven by momentum. The tide has been rising for decades, and the story is far from finished.
