Could be a Wild Year in the Conference!

Mercer beat VMI by 6 after Mercer was up by 18 at half.

Citadel had 7 points in first 10 mins of game against UNCG tonight and they were down 33-18 at half. They scored 56 points in second half to beat UNCG by 5.

CRAZY after Western beat UTC last night.

I don’t see a dominant team in the conference at this point. Maybe as much parity as ever.

Would be great to see a dominant team after Saturday, 'if' Furman goes up to UTC and pulls out a W we will be rolling

The Citadel shot 1-14 from three point range in the first half and trailed by 15. They kept playing hard and shot 8-15 from range in the second half. UNCG is normally not a great three point shooting team but hit 41 % last night. They lead by double digits for almost half the game. They are the best rebounding team in the conference but were out rebounded last night. I think the Citadel just out hustled them yesterday.

Everyone in the SoCon already has 2 losses except MU, UTC and FU which have one each.

There may be more parity in the conference from top to bottom than ever before. You literally do have to show up every night and about anyone can beat anyone on a given night.

I would favor that the conference at the top maybe isn’t as strong this year, but that is just an opinion. Others may disagree.

Should be an interesting season.

Yes. And any road win is going to be difficult no matter who you're playing as VMI, UNCG, and UTC fund out Wed. night. Even home games are not given...against anybody.

Coach pretty much said the same thing the other night on his post-game comments. You have to show up ready to play every night or you will get beat. Even if you do show up you might get beat anyway.

A win at UTC would be huge. But it's gonna be tough.
