The Auburn Tigers are set to compete in the NCAA Tournament this weekend and will travel to Clemson to take part in the Clemson regional which will feature Auburn, Cal State Fullerton, UNC Greensboro, and the No. 16 overall seed, Clemson Tigers.
Ahead of this weekend’s opening round action, Auburn Wire is taking a look into each participant, and what they bring to the table. After previewing the regional host, as well as Auburn’s first opponent of the regional, it is time to take a look at the final possible opponent that the Tigers could face this weekend, the Spartans of UNC Greensboro.
The Spartans earned the Southern Conference’s automatic bid by defeating Samford last weekend in the SoCon Tournament, 7-6. In SoCon play, the Spartans posted a 13-4 record and won all but one series in conference play. Furman defeated UNC Greensboro twice in a series played April 6-8, with the final game of the series ultimately being canceled.
What else does UNC Greensboro bring to the table? Here’s a brief rundown of what the Spartans have done this season.
