Double Dribbles- 11-23-11

1) Antwaine Wiggins of College of Charleston deservedly won Player of the Week in the SoCon this week. He averaged 19.5 points per game and six rebounds in two big wins for the Cougars last week over Morehead State and Clemson. He is on his way to SoCon Player of the Year if he keeps this up, even though last week's Player of the Week, Mike Grosselle of The Citadel, leads the league in both scoring and rebounding. Since the Cougars are so much better than their city-mates, Wiggins is considered the favorite over Grosselle at this point.

2) Appalachian State was embarrassed at home by East Carolina in a 67-47 loss. Samford lost to Georgia State at home, although they had a decent performance. Western Carolina was hammered by Northern Iowa on the road. Chattanooga has looked lost and UNC-Greensboro has not looked good. But Elon picked up another solid win, this time a road win at Princeton. Sure, beating Princeton was not a great win, but a road win against an Ivy League team that lost by two on the road to North Carolina State is not a bad thing. The Phoenix are the North favorites right now- there is no doubt about it. Let's not blow off Wofford- who played huge against previously undefeated Bradley. The Braves lost to the Terriers, the two time reigning champs, showing they will not go down without a fight.
