The SoCon is trying to make sure that they pass the Big South in the RPI standings, which are very modest hopes for the Southern Conference.
Every match-up between the two conferences becomes elevated because of that. UNC-Asheville is off to a 6-5 start and really challenged Tennessee before losing a couple of nights ago. The Bulldogs are ninth in the country in scoring, and 19th in field goal percentage and assists per game. So this is a really powerful offensive team. Western Carolina will not enjoy playing this team.
As this blog continues to makes it way and ensure that every team gets covered at least once during the course of the year, there is not much concern that the Catamounts would eventually have a game in the Monster Game of the Week. But, it is better to go ahead and get them a game. This game leaves just Samford and Appalachian State not having a game on the Monster Game of the Week yet. (Hmmm...those two teams meet on January 5....hmmmmm.)
This game ought to be fun- and it is the first game after the Christmas Break ends for the SoCon, starting at 6:00 PM on Wednesday evening. Should be fun.
