1) Thursday will be a huge day in the SoCon North. UNCG hosts Appalachian State in a game that will get a lot of coverage tomorrow night. The Spartans and the Mountaineers are tied for second in the North at 4-4. The winner could find themselves in first place if Western Carolina beats Elon in Cullowhee. Elon is in first place in the North at 4-3, while the Catamounts are a game back at 3-4. A win by Western would pull them into a tie with Elon for second, with the winner of the Appalachian State-UNCG game moving into first. A win by Elon would create some separation between them and Western Carolina and the Appalachian State-UNCG loser. This is a huge night for these four North teams.
2) UNCG's Derrell Armstrong won the SoCon Player of the Week. Jake Cohen was great and deserving, but it is really hard to argue with Armstrong, who scored 29 against Chattanooga and 27 against Samford. He also averaged five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Armstrong had a tremendous week and was probably the most deserving winner yet this year. It's unfortunate because there truly were two players who deserved it this week. Davidson's Cohen absolutely earned it as well and would have won it any other week. Of course, he had won it back-to-back weeks prior to this one. Excellent choice in Armstrong.
