Tonight in Greensboro

Greensboro:

The public will come out tonight for UNCG’s only coliseum appearance this season. More than 9,600 tickets have been sold or given away, with proceeds for the partners of about $75,000.

But the attraction for fans tonight is unique. Davidson, like UNCG, belongs to the Southern Conference, but the Wildcats played deep into last season’s NCAA tournament, losing to Kansas in a regional championship.

Davidson’s best player is Stephen Curry, who leads the nation in scoring with 29 points per game and is a first-team All-America.

Greensboro:

The scent of humiliation is in the air. UNCG could be in for college basketball’s equivalent of a public flogging in the town square tonight.

Just when the struggling Spartans desperately need to retreat from scrutiny and gain confidence by playing an equally wretched opponent on some far-flung, tiny campus, the Spartans instead get Southern Conference leader Davidson.

At the Greensboro Coliseum. In front of about 10,000 fans.

Charlotte:

The Wildcats shoot for their fifth straight 20-victory season in the huge Greensboro Coliseum, meaning that anyone in the Triad who wants a peek at Stephen Curry, the nation’s leading scorer, can do so. A win would also be Davidson’s 43rd straight in league regular-season play, leaving them one short of West Virginia’s record 44.
