UNLIKE THE CHANTS IN 2021

• Last season was an uncharacteristic year for the Chanticleers when it comes to conference play, as the Chants were just 9-12 in Sun Belt Conference action on the year.
• The nine conference victories were the fewest by a CCU team since the Chants' recorded just five conference wins in the Big South in 1997, head coach Gary Gilmore's second year at CCU.

HOME. SWEET. HOME.

• Coastal enjoyed #ThePalace for the first eight games of the season and for the month of February.
• After playing four games on the road in the first week of March - at UNCW (March 2) and North Carolina (March 4-6) - the Chanticleers returned home for a four-game homestand versus Wake Forest (March 8) and a three-game weekend series against Xavier (March 11-13).
• CCU's three-game series with ULM (March 18-20) this weekend will be the final home games for the Chanticleers for the rest of March, as the Chants will not return home to hosting UNCW on April 5.
• The Chanticleers are 10-2 at home this season.
