UNCW men’s basketball team wins Baha Mar Nassau championship
NASSAU, The Bahamas — UNCW basketball erased an early deficit and called on its trademark stifling defense to upset North Texas, 55-51, in the championship game of the Baha Mar Nassau Championship at the Baha Mar Convention Center.
The Seahawks won their 13th in-season tournament title in program’s history. Coupled with the championship of the Asheville Mako Medical Classic in 2021-22, it was Head Coach Takayo Siddle’s second in-season title in three seasons.
“Each day in the tournament, we got better,” said Siddle. “Our guys adjusted every day and executed the game plan each night out. Tonight was special. Going into the game, we were the underdogs. They have a good basketball team. and we have a lot of respect for them. Our guys completely took them out of their rhythm. The tempo was in our favor. Our guys never wavered. This was the first complete game we’ve played this year.”
