Daily Dribbles-11-9-12

--It's the opening day of basketball season! Time to get it going for a bunch of SoCon teams. Only ones not in action on Friday night are Furman, Elon, The Citadel, and Chattanooga. Toughest game for a SoCon team is probably Wofford's trip to Colorado. Easiest game is probably Emory's visit to Davidson. Most interesting game is probably Western Carolina's trip to UNC-Asheville, and I'll toss in High Point playing host to UNCG.

--A glance at UNCG's visit to High Point is here by Dash. Note that Corey Law, the top returner for High point, is not going to play in this one.

--VMI and The Citadel are hooking up on both the gridiron and the hardcourt this week. Can either team win both games? Very interesting weekend for the two military schools looking to beat one of their rivals in the two biggest sports.

--Just a quick housekeeping note: last year, we had a Tournament Challenge Contest for the SoCon Tournament. This year, we'll do the same, but there will also be a regular season Pick 'Em contest. It won't start until January with the first major wave of conference games. Throughout the conference season, we'll have a competition to see who can perform the best each week in picking the SoCon teams games. So, prepare yourselves.
