Why It Matters- Tuesday Edition

Wofford at UNC-Greensboro (7:00)

The Terriers and the Spartans will battle in Greensboro and the game will be available with video on UNCGSpartans.com. This is truly a big game and a great game.

If the Spartans win, they wrap up the number one seed from the North heading into Saturday's showdown at Elon. It also would guarantee that the Terriers will finish third in the South. This is the result that would most clarify the seeding throughout the SoCon.

If the Terriers win, then it puts pressure on Georgia Southern to win at College of Charleston heading into their Davidson game on Saturday. Wofford is down two games to the Eagles, but the Eagles have a very difficult schedule. If Wofford wins here, they would be the favorite at home against Furman on Saturday. If the Eagles lose to the Cougars, it would put pressure on them to beat Davidson on Saturday- never a positive thing to have to do. This is a huge game for the Terriers.

A Spartans loss would open the door for Elon- slightly. The Phoenix head to Davidson on Thursday, and that is probably not a position Elon needs to be in to win the division. But it does open the door. The Spartans can go out and slam the door with a win.

Should be one of the better games of the week. Can't wait for it. Remember to watch for free on UNCGSpartans.com (if you can stand the camera angles, and if not, then listen for free on there).
