The rebounding battle will be crucial, as UNC Greensboro boasts a strong presence on the boards. If the Terriers fail to contain the Spartans' leading scorer Kenyon Giles, they could find themselves in trouble early.

Defensively, the Spartans hold opponents to 64.5 points per game, one of the best marks in the conference. They are active in passing lanes, averaging 6.0 steals per contest, and protect the rim well with 2.7 blocks per game. The defensive intensity has been a major factor to the current success, as they have held four of the last five opponents under 70 points.
