Double Dribbles- 2-22-12

1) Wednesday features just one game- Appalachian State's trip to The Citadel is important to the Mountaineers chances of getting a bye. Check out What It All Means for full coverage of what the  game means to both teams. Ike Butts and Omar Carter were back to starting on Saturday, and as this team seems to be starting to surge a bit, this game could prove critical to their confidence moving forward. The battles will continue to intensify on Thursday.

2) Kevin Giltner of Wofford was the SoCon Player of the Week for last week. He averaged 23 points and 6 rebounds in a win against Elon and a loss to Charleston Southern. While his running mate, Kevin Loesing, was the best player on the floor against UNCG on Tuesday night, the Spartans were without Trevis Simpson, as UNCG is trying to get him ready for the SoCon Tourney. But Giltner has been very good this year and is one of the pleasant surprises in the SoCon this year. As Wofford chases a bye that they could desperately use, they are attempting to win their third consecutive SoCon Tournament. Giltner is a big reason why.
