What to Know

The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks will play host again and welcome the James Madison Dukes to Raiford G. Trask Coliseum, where tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET Saturday. James Madison will be strutting in after a victory while the Seahawks will be stumbling in from a defeat.

UNC-Wilmington found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 79-55 punch to the gut against the Towson Tigers on Thursday. The losing side was boosted by guard Jaylen Sims, who had 22 points.

Meanwhile, the Dukes netted a 71-63 win over the College of Charleston Cougars on Thursday. James Madison got double-digit scores from four players: guard Terrence Edwards (18), guard Vado Morse (15), forward Alonzo Sule (15), and forward Justin Amadi (10).

Barring any buzzer beaters, UNC-Wilmington is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

UNC-Wilmington is now 18-8 while James Madison sits at 15-11. The Dukes are 7-7 after wins this year, and the Seahawks are 5-2 after losses.
