CULLOWHEE, N.C. (Interstat) β€” A tight Southern Conference rematch is set for Wednesday when UNC Greensboro visits Western Carolina at the Ramsey Center. The Catamounts (10-15) will be looking for home-court revenge after falling 81-78 to the Spartans (12-15) in Greensboro just two weeks ago on Feb. 4. That game continued a trend in the series; four of the last five meetings have been decided by single digits. Both teams enter on winning notes. UNC Greensboro is riding a three-game win streak, its longest in conference play this season, after a 99-89 victory over Wofford on Saturday. Western Carolina has won two straight, including an 81-76 road win at Chattanooga on Saturday. The matchup features two of the league’s hottest scorers. Spartans guard Justin Neely is averaging 24.3 points over his last three games, including a 29-point performance against Wofford. He scored 25 in the first meeting against Western Carolina. The Catamounts are powered by guard Julien Soumaoro, who is coming off a 25-point outing at Chattanooga. After being limited to just 14 minutes and four points in the loss at UNC Greensboro, his recent form suggests a more impactful performance is likely. Western Carolina has been strong at home in league play, winning three of its last four at the Ramsey Center. UNC Greensboro, however, has found a rhythm in February, going 4-1 this month after a difficult January stretch. The game is critical for seeding in the upcoming Southern Conference Tournament, with both teams jockeying for position in the middle of the standings. A win would give the Spartans a season sweep and a key tiebreaker, while the Catamounts aim to level the series and build momentum for a late-season push. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
