SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Interstat) â A surging Wofford team will look to continue its climb in the Southern Conference standings when it hosts a UNC Greensboro squad finding its footing Wednesday night at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium. The Terriers (10-5) have won four straight, including a 95-86 road victory at The Citadel last Saturday. They are powered by the hot hand of guard Nils Machowski, who poured in a career-high 37 points in that win. Over his last five games, Machowski is averaging 21.4 points, showcasing his role as Woffordâs primary scorer. The visiting Spartans (6-9) have won two consecutive games, most notably an 89-82 home win over Samford this past Saturday. Guard Justin Neely led the way with 22 points and has been a consistent force, averaging 18.8 points over his last five contests. UNC Greensboroâs recent success follows a challenging non-conference slate. This matchup pits Woffordâs efficient offense against a Spartans team that has shown improved defensive effort in conference play. The Terriers have averaged 84.2 points during their winning streak, while UNC Greensboro has held its last two SoCon opponents under 82 points after earlier struggles. Wofford holds a distinct advantage in the seasonâs trajectory, but the Spartansâ recent form suggests they are capable of disrupting the home sideâs momentum. The game will likely hinge on the backcourt duel between Machowski and Neely, as well as Woffordâs ability to handle UNC Greensboroâs renewed defensive intensity. Wednesdayâs contest is the first of two regular-season meetings between the programs this season. Following this game, Wofford will travel to face Mercer on Saturday, while UNC Greensboro visits East Tennessee State.
