1) A game that would have gotten little attention last Wednesday suddenly looks really interesting. Tonight, Charleston travels to Samford. The Cougars are in bad shape for a bye in the South. They are without Bobby Cremins on the sideline for at least the remainder of the season. On the other hand, Samford is suddenly right in the thick of the bye race in the North. They are 4-5, just one game behind Elon for the bye in the North and one and a half games back of UNCG for first in the North. Who would have guessed that Samford would be more in the race for a bye than Charleston just last Wednesday? The Bulldogs upset of Davidson on Saturday was huge. A win over the Cougars on Monday? That would serve notice that Samford was in the race to stay.
2) There's a ton to talk about on this Monday, but with two Monday games, the Western Carolina trip to Wofford has to get mentioned. Can the Catamounts trip up the Terriers? That would be their second win over Wofford this year. They won just that game in their last eight against D1 opposition. Western Carolina is in desperate need of a win to get back into the bye race in the North. Wofford, on the other hand, can close the gap to just 1.5 games on Davidson for the South division lead and push their lead to one full game over Georgia Southern for the bye. This is a huge week for Western Carolina, who plays Wofford, Georgia Southern, and Chattanooga this week. A 2-1 or 3-0 week would get them back into the division race. A disastrous 0-3 week would get them in real trouble and possibly push them towards last in the division to stay. Big week for the Catamounts.
