SoCon Media Poll

The Media poll is now out. The Mocs were picked to win the North, and the standings were the same in the North Division as the Coaches Poll. The South was slightly different. Georgia Southern was picked to finish fifth, while Wofford was third and Furman was fourth.

Georgia Southern actually got a first place vote, along with Wofford. The Terriers are more surprising to me than the Eagles, even though Wofford is the two time reigning champ. Georgia Southern is a good basketball team this year. Wofford is still the two time reigning champs, so until they are out of the race, they have to be considered a threat. They'll be an even bigger threat come the SoCon Tournament.

Basketball season is coming. The excitement is getting tangible now.
