Double Dribbles- 1-26-12

1) UNCG and Appalachian State have a huge week, but an equally huge week belongs to Georgia Southern. The Eagles are looking to get the bye from the South. To pull that off, they need to start winning some road games. This week they go to Samford and Chattanooga, the fifth and sixth place teams in the North. The Eagles need to come up with at least one win this weekend. Can they beat the Bulldogs or the Mocs? That remains to be seen. But there has not been a bigger weekend for the Eagles in recent memory. It's opportunity time.

2) What about Wofford and Charleston? Those two teams have big weekends too. Thursday is not quite as huge. Wofford's trip to The Citadel should not be impossible for the Terriers, and the Cougars SHOULD handle Furman on Thursday  night. Wofford heads to Charleston on Saturday. In the battle for second place in the South, that will be a huge game. With a win, the Terriers will have swept the Cougars, and have a huge leg up in the race for second in the South. The Cougars basically have to sweep this weekend, which is something they have not done in the last three weeks of conference play.
