Wofford wins convincingly in their SoCon home opener with a blistering of UNCG, 97-85. The Terriers and Spartans came into the game both unbeaten in league play, but it was all dogs from the opening tip, with Wofford holding a double digit league for over 60% of the game.

Luke Flynn was on fire from 3-pt land, hitting 4/5 for 12 points, along with 7 rebounds, an assist and a steal. All four true freshman were big factors in the win. Chace Watley scored 14 points with 6 rebounds and 2 assists, while Jayden Tyler added 7 points and a rebound.

Wofford is 3-0 in SoCon play for the first time since 2018-19, when Wofford finished #19 in the AP poll and 21-0 in SoCon play. Since 2017, every SoCon team that has started conference play 3-0 has finished Top 3 in league play.
