(NCAAB) UNC Wilmington vs. Florida Gulf Coast,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -109.00 UNC Wilmington (Away)
Result: Win
UNC Wilmington is coming into this game with a 4-1 record this season and they are also coming off of a very good season last year, returning over 70% of their minutes played as well as their scoring from that team. They started this season playing very well as they won 4 straight games and have some quality wins as well. Both of their wins at home this season were against schools who are not in Division I but they do have a nice road win against UNC Asheville, winning by 10+ points, and a neutral location win against Murray State as well. They are actually coming off of their 1st loss of the season as they lost to App State by 30 points at a neutral location. They are going to be hungry to bounce back in this game against a much weaker opponent though and UNC Wilmington has already shown they can win games away from home this season. They are going up against a Florida Gulf Coast team that is 1-5 this season and has not been playing well despite returning a lot of players from last year. Their only win this season came in their only home game this year, but that win was also by 9 points against Ave Maria who is not a Division I school. They have lost their last 4 straight games since then with 3 of those losses coming at neutral locations and against mediocre teams. UNC Wilmington has been a much better team this season and they are going to bounce back in this game as they take advantage of the way FGCU has been struggling. UNC Wilmington will cover the spread in this game.
