1) One game Friday night in the SoCon. It will be Wes Miller's first game as head coach for the Spartans after Mike Dement resigned/was forced out. East Carolina heads to the Coliseum to take on the Spartans for this one. The Pirates have dominated the recent games against the Spartans, and is the favorite to win again, but their RPI is in not very high, and the Spartans have a shot to win this game if they respond well to Miller. Personally, I have seen it too many times. I think that the Spartans play one of their best games. Remember the UCLA-Arizona football game this year the first game after Mike Stoops was fired? The Wildcats looked like a different team and dominated the Bruins 48-12. I look for an inspired effort out of the Spartans, even if it doesn't result in a win.
2) We all know that Elon is coming on strong. We all know that the Phoenix has done very well this year and become the favorite to win the SoCon North. Why? I give all the credit to the defense. They currently have allowed just 36% shooting from the floor, which is good enough to be in the Top 20 in the whole country. Make no mistake- the Phoenix begin with defensive intensity. This is why they are capable of making not just a run at the SoCon title, but also could win a game or two in the NCAA Tournament if they got the right match-ups.
