UNC Wilmington vs. Campbell Key Players to Watch

UNC Wilmington

Sean Moore: The senior forward has had an up-and-down season, but he is the team’s best defender while at times providing offensive upside, evident two weeks ago when he dropped 28 points on Elon. Against Campbell in the first meeting, he struggled to find his shot, making only two of his 11 field goals, but did rack up 13 rebounds and three steals in the home win. 

Campbell

Colby Duggan: Everything Campbell does runs through Duggan, who is averaging nearly 16 points per game with three rebounds on 47% shooting at the forward position. He has had some massive CAA games, including 33 the other week in a win against Delaware and 19 points and 11 rebounds in the close loss at UNC Wilmington in which he shot nearly 69% from the field. 

UNC Wilmington vs. Campbell Prediction and Pick

In the first meeting, the Seahawks dominated the shot volume battle into a relatively comfortable win against Campbell, winning by eight in a game that was rarely in doubt for the home team. 

UNC Wilmington offset a 21% shooting game with 33 free throw attempts and a +17 rebounding margin, something that can be exposed again in this matchup as the team is the best offensive rebounding group in CAA play. 

Campbell offsets some of this with elite ball pressure and stifling perimeter defense, but the Seahawks are far more comfortable around the rim, which has been a weak point of the Camels all season. 

On the other side of the floor, Campbell is a 3-point reliant offense, fourth in CAA three-point rate, despite shooting at a bottom third percentage (32.8%). The team will hoist from distance even if it’s not the team's most efficient shot. 

With that in mind, I’m going to back the Seahawks as small road favorites.
