Wofford does know how to “win” some big games in both basketball and football. I do not think they will come in 4th in the conference. I think it will be higher.

Right now I think it will come down to Furman and ETSU...UNCG really really good too...I think those three a slight step up in talent from Wofford, although Wofford is improving and will a contender for an NCAA Tournament bid come SoCon Tournament time...Barring a miracle, one of these four teams will win it again....Western Carolina is the only team outside those four that could make a case and they might be interchangeable with Wofford.

i guess I don't really understand the NET ranking. How can the team right above FU (North Texas #108) be 3-7? What possible "strength of schedule" argument could be valid?

Not saying I agree with North Texas being ahead of Furman...but their schedule has been pretty difficult.
They've lost 7 games to teams with a combined record of 58-13.
E. Michigan 9-1
#41 VCU 8-2
#15 Dayton 9-1
#30 Arkansas 9-1
#44 Oklahoma 7-3
#81 Rhode Island 6-3
#51 Utah St. 10-2

I’m w SoCon John.

Don’t read too much into this unc win. It was a depleted Tar Heel team.

gofurman love ya dude, but if I had the power to delete or move this thread I would
I agree, especially since there is already discussion of this game under the SoCon games of note thread. Some people love to duplicate.
Didn't mean to duplicate. I don't keep up with the basketball board enough to know what goes on here

when you have cheated for 15 years I was really just picking on UNC more than propping Woff. We see how Woff got curb stomped by Duke - who was ALSO missing their PG and leader.. Props to ETSU too !

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
