so in addition to hopefully improve the socon champion's seed or become more than a one bid league,there are significant financial benefits to each of the conference teams if a socon rep can make a deep run in the tourney.what was the last conference team to win an ncaa game?was it wofford?

After the cheerleaders brief appearance on Jimmy Fallon, the bookstore is almost sold out of any shirt with FU on it. Only small sizes left.
