What to Know

The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Elon Phoenix and are hoping to record their first win since March 9 of 2019. UNC-Wilmington will play host again and welcome Elon to Raiford G. Trask Coliseum, where tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET Wednesday. The Seahawks will be strutting in after a victory while the Phoenix will be stumbling in from a loss.

Two weeks ago UNC-Wilmington capped 2021 off with a 70-68 win over the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens. Guard Shykeim Phillips (17 points), guard Jaylen Sims (17 points), and guard Mike Okauru (15 points) were the top scorers for UNC-Wilmington.

Speaking of close games: it was close but no cigar for Elon as they fell 65-61 to the College of Charleston Cougars on Sunday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, UNC-Wilmington is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

The Seahawks' win brought them up to 7-5 while the Phoenix's defeat pulled them down to 4-11. UNC-Wilmington is 4-2 after wins this season, and Elon is 3-7 after losses.
