1) It's a big day for SoCon teams. Charleston visits Coastal Carolina in a game that likely determines the best team in the state of South Carolina. Davidson must come down from their win over Kansas as they head to Massachusetts. Appalachian State hosts Campbell, who is 8-4. Georgia Southern goes to Georgia State of the CAA, who is 8-3. UNCG hosts one of last year's Final Four participants, VCU. Elon heads to 10-2 San Diego State. The Citadel is on the road against 9-2 Denver. Honestly, the SoCon coming up with any wins today will be considered solid. They should win at least a couple of games, but with the way this preseason has gone, who knows? Huge chance for the SoCon to jump in the conference standings.
2) Wofford lost at High Point on Wednesday night. This was a disappointing loss for the Terriers. They had won four straight, all at home, prior to this performance. Their trip to South Carolina a week from today just took a small hit in expectations. The Terriers still will have every opportunity to beat the Gamecocks. That being said, Wofford was exposed a bit. High Point jumped out to an 18 point lead and was dominating the Terriers early. The Terriers trimmed it to a four point game with four and a half minutes left, but were not able to get any closer, before falling 87-79. This was a very poor start to the game for the Terriers, but an OK finish. They'll need to play much better to beat the Gamecocks, or make any real noise in the SoCon.
