Daily Dribbles- 11-14-12

--Very good analysis of the entire Tip Off Marathon over on ESPN.com. Here's the pertinent quote to any SoCon/Davidson fan: "Grab another notebook. Write this down: “Dear NCAA tournament selection committee: Please don’t pit my favorite squad against Davidson in the early rounds. Please.” Buy some stamps and ship that note to Indianapolis. Trust me, Davidson is on the “teams to avoid in March” list. I knew it was stacked -- this is basically the same team that beat Kansas in December -- but I didn’t realize that Bob McKillop’s squad had this level of depth. De’Mon Brooks (22 points, 7-for-14) is one of the top combo forwards in the country. And I just can’t see his co-star, Jake Cohen, going 2-for-12 again. Yes, the Wildcats couldn’t maintain their lead in the second half, but they looked really good most of the evening … morning."

--Looking forward to the Charleston Classic. KingKresse is too. A very nice write up of each team that will appear in the tournament. Also, be sure to follow them on Twitter.

--High Point's dominating win over Appalachian State will continue to cause concern for the SoCon. That's two teams that High Point has beaten in the last five days. Not good for the SoCon. This one was far more of a blowout than when UNCG stumbled at High Point on Friday night. Maybe High Point is better than I think. Maybe DashSpartan is right, and I should not be so concerned about UNCG. One thing is for sure- the North is more wide open than I thought it was preseason.

--Mike Groselle of The Citadel was named the SoCon Player of the Week. He earned it for the Bulldogs. The Sports Arsenal has a nice recap of what went on with the All Military Classic this weekend.
