2025 Tournament PreviewUNC Wilmington finished two games behind Towson in the CAA regular season but captured the conference tournament to earn its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2017. The Seahawks run an all-upperclassmen eight-man rotation, led by senior point guard Donovan Newby (14.6 ppg, 3.5 apg), who shoots 35.7 percent from three-point range (210 attempts). In the frontcourt, the junior combo of 6-9 Khamari McGriff (11.6 ppg, 4.0 rpg) and 7-0 Harlan Obioha (9.3 ppg, 5.9 rpg) propel the Seahawks to a top-30 offensive rebounding rate, providing second-chance looks for an offense that ranks 82nd in efficiency (per KenPom). The resume lacks, however, with no wins in Quads 1 or 2 and a trio of Quad 4 losses. UNCW's best opponent was Kansas, which was an 18-point loss, and its first-round opponent is an even higher-caliber team.
