1) An early bracket from Joe Lunardi is out. Jerry Palm has one out too. In both Davidson is picked as the SoCon champ. Lunardi has Davidson as a 14 seed battling Wisconsin in Round 1. Palm has Davidson as a 13 seed battling Louisville in Round 1. Wait...is that Round 2? Well, whatever- you get the point. I guess Davidson fans should probably not book their flight quite yet to either of these sites. Still, this year could be a special year for the Wildcats. Palm and Lunardi are jumping on the bandwagon. A 13 seed for the SoCon champ would not be a bad draw this year. Davidson opens the season against Guilford today.
2) It's unusual that a two time reigning champ gets as little attention as Wofford is getting this preseason. That is particularly true when the projected starting line-up contains three seniors. But only one is a returning starter. Brad Loesing is the lone returning starter. Kevin Giltner and Drew Crowell are the other projected starters that are seniors. They combined to average 13.8 points per game last year. Domas Rinksalis is a redshirt sophomore that did not play last year. He is projected to start, and played in nine games and scored 1.1 points per game two years ago. Freshman Jarrell Byrd is the other projected starter. Mike Young has proven to be a solid coach- this year will test him. This is a completely different team from last year. The Terriers open at Georgia on ESPN3.com tonight.
