UNC Wilmington is coming into this game with a 5-1 record this season and they were a very good team last year that is also returning over 75% of their minutes played as well as their scoring from last year. Their only loss this season came at a neutral location against the 5-2 Appalachian State but they have played very well in every other game. They have also won both of their road games this season as they beat UNC Asheville and Florida Gulf Coast by 10+ points in each game. They are going up against an East Carolina team that is 4-3 this season and also returning a lot of players from last season but they did not have a great team last year either. They will be hungry to improve this season but so has UNC Wilmington and UNCW has the better team right now. East Carolina is coming off of a loss in their last game against George Mason by 10+ points and every other game this season they have played at home. They have won 4 of their 6 games at home this season with 1 win coming against a school who is not in Division I, 2 wins coming against teams with losing records, and their last win at home coming by 1 point against a 4-3 Kennesaw State team. They also have 2 losses at home this year as they lost to South Carolina Upstate and Northeastern who both have losing records as well. UNC Wilmington has already been road tested this season with their 2 road wins and they are the better team here that will get up for another Carolina school. UNC Wilmington will cover the spread in this game.
