UNC Wilmington Seahawks team news & key performers
UNCW had a well-rounded performance against Hampton, with Bo Montgomery leading the way with 18 points and eight rebounds. Khamari McGriff contributed 15 points and six boards, while Sean Moore anchored the defence with four of the team’s nine total blocks. Moore, a 6-foot-7 forward, earned All-CAA Defensive Team honours for his efforts on that end of the floor.
While the Seahawks lack a true go-to scorer, they make up for it with exceptional balance. Guard Donovan Newby (14.4 PPG, 3.5 APG, 36.3% from three) was the team’s lone representative on the All-CAA second team, but eight different players averaged at least seven points per game. Moore (9.2 PPG, 6.5 RPG) also made the All-Defensive squad, but the team’s biggest X-factor has been 7-foot, 285-pound Niagara transfer Harlan Obioha. His presence in the paint has made a noticeable impact, as he’s averaged nearly 20 points and 7.5 rebounds over his last three contests. The frontcourt duo of Obioha and the 6-foot-9 McGriff (11.6 PPG) provides the Seahawks with the interior strength needed to match Charleston’s size advantage.
Charleston Cougars news & key performers
Charleston was led by Ante Brzovic, who posted 22 points and eight rebounds, while AJ Smith chipped in with 17 points and four boards. However, the Cougars struggled from three-point range, shooting just 27.8%, while allowing Monmouth to connect on 10-of-28 (36%) from long distance. Third-team All-CAA guard Derrin Boyd added 13.7 points per game this season and has been a reliable outside shooter at 39% from beyond the arc.
