Description

The UNCG Spartans face a massive roster rebuild after losing their top three scorers. Head Coach Mike Jones must maintain his elite defense while solving the biggest question: offense.

In This Episode:

  • Elite Defense, Missing Offense: UNCG's defense was 15th nationally (65 PPG allowed), but they lost their top perimeter threats.
  • The Rebuild: Mike Jones relies heavily on the Transfer Portal for tough, defensive-minded players.
  • New Faces: Highlighting Donald Whitehead Jr. (DII POY) as the expected new floor general, and analyzing efficient transfers like Valentino Pinedo (60% FG).
  • Strategic Move: We discuss the importance of playing more games at the intimate Fleming Gymnasium for a louder home-court advantage.
  • Prediction: We set the floor at 6th and the ceiling at 3rd place in the SoCon standings.

Can the Spartans break the curse in Asheville?
