1) With Charleston's win on Thursday night over Georgia Southern and Davidson's win over Elon, now six of the twelve seeds have been clinched heading into Saturday's action. The 1N will belong to UNCG, and the 6N will belong to Chattanooga. The 1S will belong to Davidson, the 4S will belong to College of Charleston, the 5S will belong to Furman, and the 6S will be The Citadel. Georgia Southern and Wofford are battling it out for the 2S and 3S, while Samford and Elon can get anywhere from 2N to 4N, Western Carolina can get anywhere from 2N to 5N, and Appalachian State can get anywhere from 3N to 5N. Should make for a very interesting Saturday.
2) The team that is most dangerous with a bye that can still get it is Wofford. The Terriers could be the 2S if they beat Furman and Georgia Southern loses to Davidson. If they get that, suddenly the two time reigning champs will be on the opposite end of the bracket from Davidson, and would be able to play just three games in three days with their starting line-up that features Kevin Giltner and Brad Loesing playing huge minutes. To be the champs, you gotta beat the champs. Wofford is incredibly dangerous if they get that bye.
If I was playing Wofford I would zone them and make them beat be shooting 3's- I really am not convince they are that good of a outside shooting team. Can anybody beat Davidson?- They really seem to be way ahead of the rest of the league However, UNCG did beat them twice last year with many of same players back from last year- They did severely beat UNCG at home this year- They play very tough defense and pushed UNCG back to half Court on offense.
ReplyDeleteI think teams could beat Davidson. It will take a near perfect game to do it. But if they can be forced to shoot threes and are having an off game, they can be beaten.
ReplyDeleteKarl Cochran is the most important player on Wofford. If he is hitting from three, they are a totally different team.
