Saturday's game will mark the 37^th all-time meeting between Furman and UNCG with the Spartans holding a 19-17 series lead. UNCG captured last season's meeting in Greensboro, N.C., before Furman earned a victory in the rematch in Greenville. The Spartans, who have won five of the last six series meetings, downed Furman 66-62 in the SoCon semifinals in Asheville in the most recent encounter on March 10, 2019.
 
Furman is currently ranked No. 3 in the College Insider Mid-Major Top 25, while the Spartans (12-5 overall, 2-2 SoCon) are ranked No. 9. The Paladins climbed to No. 57 in the Pomeroy Ratings (KenPom.com) on Friday. UNCG is currently rated No. 87.
 
In December, Furman made its return to Bon Secours Wellness Arena with an 80-73 victory over Big South Conference leader Winthrop. The Paladins called downtown Greenville home from the program's inception in 1908 until the closing of the Greenville Memorial Auditorium at the 1995-96 season. The December tilt versus Winthrop was Furman's first contest in downtown Greenville since 2007.
