Samford vs UNC Greensboro Prediction
Samford is 9-1 in Southern Conference play with their only loss to Furman on January 24th, 2024. Samford is on a three game win streak and have won 20 of their last 21 games. Samford has already beat UNC Greensboro where they won by nine points at home back on January 11th, 2024. Although this Samford team is one of the hottest teams in the nation, it has hard to beat a team twice in the same season, let alone on the road.
UNC Greensboro is 8-2 in conference play with their two losses coming from Samford on the road and Mercer at home. The Spartans are looking to get revenge on the Bulldogs tonight at home and quite frankly, I think that UNC Greensboro wins tonight at home. UNC Greensboro is led by senior forward Mikeal Brown-Jones who averages 20.8 PPG which is 16th best in the nation.
Brown-Jones has only played 19 games this season, but he has been a force when he has played. Brown-Jones has improved his game from last year where he was shooting the thre at 29.2% where as this year he is shooting it at a 50% rate. No, this is not a small sample size either. Brown-Jones is 18-36 behind the 3-point line and I expect him to knock down a couple tonight.
Tonight, the Greensboro Coliseum will be rocking as the crowd is bought in on this Spartan team. This is a big matchup for the conference as I think that UNC Greensboro comes out swinging. I think that they set the tone early, get into their slower paced offense, and make Samford play at their pace in which they are uncomfartble playing at. Expect Brown-James to be a difference maker tonight and do not be surprised if he records a double-double tonight in a thrilling fashion.
