In the first weekend UNCG got off to a great start defending home turf against us. ETSU went to Mercer and pounded them, giving ETSU the first leg up in what promises to be a very good SoCon race. Depending on who is doing the commentary, there are five or six teams capable of winning the championship. Mercer, ETSU, UNCG, Furman, Wofford and possibly Chattanooga could all rise to the top. These are GOOD mid major teams-maybe the best we have ever seen in the SoCon. Having watched live the Wofford/UNCG game, and the ETSU/Mercer game on ESPN3, it is apparent that this is a special season in the Socon. While it is probably a big stretch to speculate that our conference could get more than one team in the tournament, this is the first year it is truly a possibility. Against the other mid majors I would take the chances of some of our programs. It can be a very special year in the SoCon, and possibly the year our conference turns the corner and becomes truly viable on the national scene. When the season is over I would take our top couple of teams against leagues like the CAA and A10 and strongly believe we can win. Is this he year we get more than one invitation? Can our team(s) get past the first round?
