UNC Greensboro (22-8) vs. Wofford (11-18)
Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium
Spartanburg, SC
March 1st, 2014
Matas Frye scored 23 points and added 6 rebounds and 3 blocks to lead Wofford to a big 75-66 upset win over UNC Greensboro in both teams' season finales.
Nate Allison paced the Wofford offense with 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists and Tyrone Kirkland added a 10-point, 14-rebound double-double. Shannon Falls also tallied 10 points and 4 boards from off the bench.
UNC Greensboro (22-8, 17-3 Southern Conference) led 38-33 at halftime, but the Spartans struggled to hit their shots late. The two teams were tied at 61-61 in the closing minutes, but Wofford (11-18, 7-13) went on a 14-5 run to close out the game.
"On one hand, this game doesn't affect our seeding going into the conference tournament," said UNC Greensboro head coach Lee Williamson, "but this certainly isn't the kind of momentum we wanted to kick off March. We have some soul searching to do going into the conference tournament."
Wofford shot an even 50 percent from the field and dominated the boards, outrebounding UNCG 39-26.
Damian Konare led the Spartans in scoring from off the bench with 13 points. The junior guard also tallied 4 steals. Mathew Van Weerdhuizen scored 12 points, but the junior guard struggled with his shot, connecting on just 3 of his 13 field goal attempts. Earnest Abdur-Rahim bounced back from his 0-point game against Chattanooga with 10 points tonight.
Next up for both teams will be the 2014 Southern Conference Tournament.
