1) Relatively unusual event on this Monday night. The Citadel travels to Georgia Southern for a SoCon game. The Bulldogs were awful in their 29 point loss to Davidson on Saturday evening. But they get a shot at redemption against a slightly inconsistent Georgia Southern team. The Eagles have to be able to come down off the mountain after beating College of Charleston on Saturday night. The Eagles win put them up a game on the Cougars, and put the Cougars in fourth place in the South division. Can the Eagles come down off of that high and beat a team they should beat in the Bulldogs? That's the intrigue involved in this one.
2) The North is still just as crazy after the weekend's action. Elon leads the North at 4-3, while Appalachian State and UNC-Greensboro are 4-4. Western Carolina is 3-4, one game out of the lead, but in fourth place in the division. Chattanooga is 3-5, with Samford at 2-5 in SoCon play. Who will win this bizarre division? Personally, I think the Spartans current run is showing that they have a real shot at a bye in the North. Elon has done nothing to inspire confidence- even in their one point win over the Mocs. The Mocs haven't won on the road, so it's almost impossible to get excited about them. Western Carolina is flawed with their lack of an inside game against the likes of the Mocs Drazen Zlovaric and the Mountaineers Isaac Butts. Could Samford make a run? Unlikely, but their one point loss at Greensboro shows that they may not be as far off as some think.
