ANALYSIS

The North defended their home court on Thursday night. Chattanooga's win over Wofford and Appalachian State's win over Furman. That's two wins for the North, and it gave them the lead on their home court.

The South on the other hand only tied on their home court. Charleston was the city that really hurt the South. The Citadel lost at home to Elon- not a total shock. However, UNC-Greensboro's stunning win over College of Charleston on the Cougars home floor really turned the table. Suddenly, the North is within two in this battle. Can't say that I saw that coming.

Saturday gives us four more opportunities for the North and South to take on each other. If the North wins three out of four, they would suddenly be tied in this race that I was just about willing to give the South the edge.
