This NCAA basketball matchup will take place at the Ramsey Regional Activity Center in Cullowhee, North Carolina, USA. While Lander University in Greenwood is not directly involved in this particular game, college basketball remains a significant interest for many in the Lakelands region.

Both teams currently hold a 0-0 record. The last time these two teams met was on February 7, 2026, when Wofford secured a 77-66 victory. The upcoming game will mark another chapter in their collegiate basketball rivalry.
