UNCW Men's Basketball's Stellar Season

UNCW mens basketball secured a remarkable season, earning major accolades from the Coastal Athletic Association. Coach Takayo Siddle secured Coach of the Year for the second time, while senior guard Madison Durr was named Sixth Man of the Year. Redshirt junior Patrick Wessler made the All-CAA First Team, and senior Nolan Hodge landed on the Second Team. The Seahawks achieved their fourth outright regular season title and a program-record-tying twenty-six wins, despite losing their top five scorers from the previous championship squad. Key transfers like Durr and Wessler, along with holdovers such as Hodge, contributed to the teams success. Durr averaged nearly ten points off the bench, Wessler dominated inside with sixteen double-doubles, and Hodge emerged as the leading scorer at fourteen-point-six per game. The Seahawks topped the league in scoring margin and rebounds, finishing top four in offense and defense. They pulled off five double-digit comebacks, including a twenty-four-point rally, and notched three long winning streaks for their fifth straight twenty-win season. Now, as the top seed, they head to the CAA Tournament in Washington, D.C., facing Stony Brook or Campbell on Sunday, March eighth at noon, looking primed for another deep run.
