What It All Means- Wednesday Edition

Appalachian State at The Citadel (7:00)

The Mountaineers have an opportunity to get a bye in the North. They need to win out, and they need Elon to lose both and Samford to lose at least one, or for Elon to lose to UNCG and Samford to lose both for the Mountaineers to get a bye. It mostly depends on winning though. If the Mountaineers can win, they have a real shot.

With the way Isaac Butts has been playing lately, the Mountaineers are a threat in the SoCon Tournament. They really need to get a bye to really get into position to win the tournament. Winning this game means a lot to the Mountaineers chances.

For The Citadel, they  have no shot at getting out of their 6S seed. But that doesn't matter. The Bulldogs won against Chattanooga on Saturday. They have been playing teams relatively close, and feature one of the best players in the SoCon in Mike Groselle. That makes them dangerous in a tournament setting. It would help the Bulldogs to continue to build their confidence by winning a game or two  this week. A Bulldogs win in this one or on Saturday against Charleston would be a big boost to their confidence heading into Asheville.

Should be an interesting game. Winnning on the road is never easy in the SoCon. That makes this game more intriguing.
