1) Elon's loss to Dartmouth this weekend was thoroughly disappointing. The Phoenix shot under 30% from the field and that was what got them beat. I suppose a road game where the team did not shoot well should not be cause for concern for the Phoenix. However, with Elon moving towards the Top 100 RPI, I was hoping that they would become a third highly ranked SoCon team to help the conference RPI and give another viable candidate to get a 14 seed or better in the NCAA Tournament. This loss does not kill those chances- but it does put a damper on them.
2) Tonight is the last chance for Davidson to make a real splash on the national scene. The Wildcats will be heading to Kansas on ESPNU at 9:00 PM. There is a chance here for the Wildcats to pull off the shocker, but they really will have to play close to their best to win this one on the road against Thomas Robinson. With Samford's visit to Kentucky and Charleston's trip to Louisville on Tuesday night, the SoCon has three shots at Top 12 ranked teams over the next two nights. Big couple of days. The Wildcats give the SoCon their first (and arguably best) chance at a huge win.
