The Opening Round of the SoCon Tournament went as expected!


UT-Chattanooga sent Wofford home to Spartanburg with a 64-55 win last night. Casey Long scored 13-points as the Mocs improved to (15-17, 7-12 SoCon). Junior Salters led the Terriers with 17-points. The Mocs face the #1-seeded Davidson Wildcats (26-4, 17-1 SoCon) today at 2 pm. For all of you Davidson fans out there, WB says that Parking Lot B will have a Davidson tailgate from 10 am this morning until 2 pm. (Photo compliments of SoCon Sports)

Nick Aldridge scored 20-points and Negus McKenna scored 18-points as the Western Carolina Catamounts (11-19, 8-11 SoCon) squeaked one past the Elon Phoenix 69-65. Western Carolina advances to face Appalachian State (24-6, 15-3 SoCon) in the Q-finals tonight at 7pm.

Georgia Southern defeated the Citadel, (62-46) giving Coach Conroy an addendum to his cousin’s book, “My Losing Season”. I asked Coach Conroy’s nephew-twice- removed's, college roommate, Hank, after the game what he thought about the Bulldog’s season and what Coach Conroy was thinking. He replied; “I am very proud, of my seniors’ game, although their kind of balling and mine ain’t exactly the same. Stop and think it over, try to put yourself in my unique position. Now leave me alone, we can’t press with the zone, we lost all season long, we’re just carrying on and it’s just a Family Tradition!"

The Eagles will face the College of Charleston (20-10, 13-5 SoCon) tonight. I know it is everywhere, I guess the media is rubbing their total disregard for fact-checking in the SoCon's face but despite what the liberal-Davidson (on-line) Media is saying, we (CofC) are not playing the Catamounts who we beat twice this year, we are playing Georgia Southern, tip-off is at 9:30 pm.
