We could play UNCG if they fall to 3rd place

We would play citadel if we end up in 7th

I agree 4th 5th or 6th is more likely. And that would restrict our first opponent to UNCG Samford ETSU or Wofford

I think you are assuming Furman loses to Wofford and beats Citadel. If Citadel came within 0.2 sec of beating UTC on the road do you not believe that anything can happen in the SOCON and the the outcome of the next 2 games is not assured?

I say beat Citadel and beat Wofford.

Some key games upcoming this week in the league. We host the Citadel and Wofford travels to improving Western Carolina on Wednesday. Huge showdown game between Chattanooga and UNCG at Greensboro on Thursday..A UNCG win causes a first place tie. The Paladins go to Wofford Saturday. Also Samford on the road at UNCG, and Chattanooga finishes on the road at VMI after just surviving the Citadel Saturday.

Thoughts on seeding in tourney? Assuming we take care of business overthe next two games, we are in the 4-5 matchup in Asheville. Or could end up in the #6 spot with a loss to Wofford. Likely 4-5 matchup against ETSU or 3-6 matchup against Samford. The only thing I dislike about the 4-5 matchup is we would be playing at 8:30 pm on Saturday. Not a big fan of that time. Then you get the early 4 pm game on Sunday against UTC, if they win. Regardless, I like our chances against UTC in a 3rd game.

I would prefer not to play someone we've already beaten twice for a third time. Getting UNCG as the 3 with us as a 6 wouldn't be terrible as they are trending down and they would have to beat us a third time. We can beat anyone, just fully relies on if our shots are going down

Despite that cliche of 'hard to beat the same team 3 times', I'd be willing to bet that odds are strongly in favor of the team that has won the 2 previous meetings to also win the 3rd meeting in a conference tournament...

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
