--The SoCon blew their three opportunities to beat ranked teams on Tuesday night. Louisville pounded College of Charleston in Charleston. It was never close. The Cougars showed that they may have further to go than they thought. Then again, maybe it was just a fluke. Samford, as expected, was destroyed by Kentucky. Western Carolina hung around with Illinois tonight, showing how far the Catamounts have come in recent weeks. They are proving that their preseason prediction of being third in the North was not too high.--Charleston Southern pounded on crosstown rival The Citadel. Arlon Harper scored 30 for CSU, and Jeremy Sexton and Saah Nimley scored 20 each. That's seventy points for those three players. The Citadel scored 73 total as a team. Wow. This game was a wake up call to the Bulldogs to show that they are not as far along as I was hoping they were.
--Elon beat up on Dartmouth. That was nice. At least the SoCon got one win on the night. True but funny story. Dartmouth's starters combined to score eleven points. Ten was by one player. The Phoenix are looking good in the North.
--Wednesday is another opportunity for the SoCon. Davidson hosts UNC-Charlotte, and Wofford is hosting Gardner-Webb (who is 5-4 overall). A chance for the SoCon to pick up a win over an unbeaten team (UNCC) and a Big South team (Gardner-Webb). Both of these games are winnable. The SoCon needs them.
