Records: Wofford (17-12, 10-6); UNC Greensboro (12-16, 10-6)

Leading scorers: Wofford ? Sr. G Kevin Giltner (15.4 ppg.); Sr. G Brad Loesing (14.4 ppg., 5.5 apg.); Fr. G Karl Cochran (11.0 ppg., 4.7 rpg.). UNC Greensboro ? So. G/F Trevis Simpson (18.0 ppg.); Jr. G Derrell Armstrong (12.2 ppg.)

Notes: The scenario for second place in the South Division and a first-round bye in the Southern Conference tournament is down to its simplest terms. For Wofford to catch Georgia Southern, the Terriers must win their final two games (including Saturday against Furman) and the Eagles must lose their final two games (against College of Charleston and Davidson). ? UNC Greensboro, meanwhile, can wrap up the No. 1 seed of the North Division with a win against Wofford. ? Georgia Southern won at home Saturday against UNC Greensboro, 83-69. UNCG had won 11 of 12 games, the only loss being Feb. 4 at Samford. On either side of that stretch were wins against College of Charleston. Before that period of games, however, the Spartans lost 11 straight. ? Wofford is coming off a 77-59 loss Saturday in a non-conference game at Charleston Southern. The Terriers were doomed with 31 percent shooting in the first half to fall behind by 16 points. They finished with 18 turnovers, 10 more than CSU. ? UNC Greensboro ranks third for Southern Conference games in scoring offense but only 10th in shooting percentage.

Next: Wofford finishes the regular season at 7 p.m. Saturday at home against Furman. The Southern Conference tournament begins March 2 in Asheville, N.C.

About Tonight's Game
The Spartans close out their 2011-12 home schedule when they host Wofford ... tonight's game is the final home contest for seniors Elhanan Bone, Aaron Brackett and Aloysius Henry and the trio will be honored in pregame Senior Day ceremonies ... the Spartans can clinch their first outright North Division title with a win tonight or an Elon loss at Davidson on Thursday ... UNCG previously shared the North crown in 2002 ... sophomore guard Trevis Simpson needs 13 points to become the ninth player in UNCG history to score 500 points in a season ... Simpson's 487 points this season already rank 10th.
