Double Dribbles-12-29-11

1) Western Carolina's win was a good one for the SoCon. The other performances- not so much. Wofford lost to South Carolina, and were again unable to score points against a team from a major conference. The game resembled the Georgia game from earlier this year. Samford also was completely dominated by Sam Houston State. The Bulldogs should have been able to compete against SHSU, but they were beaten badly. That was not a good performance by Samford. All in all, a disappointing night for the SoCon, on a night that big things could have happened, especially since Western Carolina won against UNC-Asheville.

2) A somewhat interesting night is coming up for the SoCon on Thursday. Chattanooga gets Longwood at home. Elon travels to North Carolina, in a game that is probably too tall of an order for the Phoenix. Davidson heads to Penn and continues to look for some consistency. This seems to be the type of game that the Wildcats struggle in this year- a road game against a team that they are slightly better than. The Citadel heads to Tennessee. The Vols have not been able to hammer anyone in recent weeks. If they struggle with the Bulldogs, it really will be a sign of bad things that are to come. If the Bulldogs can pull off the upset, it would be a huge win for the Bulldogs as they head into SoCon play.
