The final standings are as follows:
North Division
1. UNCG (10-8)
2. Elon (9-9)
3. WCU (8-10)
4. Samford (8-10)
5. ASU (7-11)
6. UTC (5-13)
South Division
1. Davidson (16-2)
2. Wofford (12-6)
3. GSU (12-6)
4. CofC (10-8)
5. Furman (8-10)
6. Citadel (3-15)
The obvious winner last night was Wofford, who landed the bye with their win over Furman. Would have been very difficult for those starters to play their usual minutes in four straight games. GSU loses the tiebreaker and will play a very motivated Chattanooga team on Day 1.
Three teams that really scare me in the tournament:
1. UTC- Shulman always comes into the tournament like a raging lunatic and gets his kids to play way above their talent level. He's coaching of course for his job (maybe even just pride at this point) and will have his seniors ready.
2. Wofford- Two time defending champs and they got the bye they so desperately needed. Another team with very strong coaching and a senior point guard who won't get rattled. Defense wins championships.
3. App State- This one probably goes back to when they beat us in 2010. That was the game where Butts completely just shut down our front line and Donald Sims sliced through our defense. The game we played at Boone this year, the Mountaineers shot way under their 3-point average and we shot way above ours. They also dominated the glass: 43-29. Luckily they've been on a little slide going into Asheville.
