What to Know

The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the High Point Panthers at 2 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at Raiford G. Trask Coliseum. The Seahawks should still be feeling good after a big victory, while High Point will be looking to regain their footing.

UNC-Wilmington made easy work of the Jacksonville Dolphins last week and carried off an 81-53 win.

Meanwhile, High Point entered their game against the Queens University Royals two weeks ago without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. High Point came up short against Queens University, falling 87-79.

UNC-Wilmington is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a six-game streak of ATS wins.

The Seahawks are now 8-3 while the Panthers sit at 8-2. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: UNC-Wilmington enters the matchup with only 61.3 points allowed per game on average, good for 33rd best in college basketball. On the other end of the spectrum, High Point is stumbling into the contest with the second most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.8 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against High Point.
