The Hornets face NAU and UNC on back to back nights to close out the season. According to a post on BigSkyFans, NAU has the 5 seed locked up and doesn’t appear to have anything riding on this game. I think NAU will play its starters for maybe the first half and then rest them. This should open the door for the Hornets to grab their 10th win of the season. If the Hornets can manage to open up a sizeable lead, I’d like to see some of the returning players who normally don’t see a lot of action to get some considerable playing time under their belt in preparation for next season.
This same thing holds true for the UNC game. UNC is either going to finish with the 2 or 3 seed. It all depends if they feel that a 2 seed is that much better than a 3 seed. Depending on how the health of their team is, they may also rest a lot of their starters in this game which again would make this game more winnable for the Hornets. It’s very possible the Hornets could finish the season with a 2 game winning streak. This would go a long way for the players and the coaches as far as finishing the season on a positive note.
