What to Know

The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks won both of their matches against the William & Mary Tribe last season (92-70 and 80-73) and are aiming for the same result Saturday. UNC-Wilmington and William & Mary will face off in a Colonial battle at 5 p.m. ET at Raiford G. Trask Coliseum. The Tribe should still be riding high after a victory, while UNC-Wilmington will be looking to get back in the win column.

UNC-Wilmington entered their contest against the College of Charleston Cougars on Wednesday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. UNC-Wilmington fell in a 71-69 heartbreaker. They got double-digit scores from four players: guard Jamarii Thomas (16), forward Trazarien White (16), forward Amari Kelly (13), and guard Maleeck Harden-Hayes (12).

Meanwhile, William & Mary strolled past the Hampton Pirates with points to spare on Wednesday, taking the game 81-65.

The Seahawks are the favorite in this one, with an expected 12.5-point margin of victory. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while the Tribe have struggled against the spread on the road.

UNC-Wilmington's defeat took them down to 14-4 while William & Mary's win pulled them up to 7-10. A win for UNC-Wilmington would reverse both their bad luck and William & Mary's good luck. We'll see if UNC-Wilmington manages to pull off that tough task or if William & Mary keeps their momentum going instead.
