SoCon Schedule- January 15-21

Thursday

Furman at Georgia Southern, 7:00 PM
The Paladins have been so close so far, but have not gotten over the hump yet. The Eagles need to win to maintain their current momentum.

Chattanooga at Appalachian State, 7:00 PM
The Mocs haven't lost a conference game. The Mountaineers haven't won one. But since when has Boone been an easy place for the Mocs to win? The Mocs have a very thin margin of error.

The Citadel at UNCG, 7:00 PM
The Bulldogs are getting closer and closer each and every game. The Spartans want to be considered contenders? Go beat The Citadel before hosting Davidson.

Elon at Davidson, 7:00 PM
The SoCon Monster Game of the Week. Elon and Davidson are so much alike. To be the best, you have to beat the best. That's Elon's mantra. THIS is the game they have been waiting for.

Saturday

Samford at Western Carolina, 2:00 PM
Can Western Carolina stay focused and come up with a conference win over a team they should beat? Or was the Bulldogs thrilling win over Furman be a confidence boost and propel them to an upset?

Georgia Southern at Appalachian State, 2:00 PM
Appalachian State is playing better. Georgia Southern needs to win on the road against a team like the Mountaineers. These two teams are both leaving the SoCon, but we'll call this a Sun Belt preview.

Davidson at UNCG, 5:00 PM
I know Elon-Davidson is the Game of the Week, but this is Game of the Week 1A. If the Spartans beat The Citadel at home on Thursday , this may be the biggest game for UNCG in a long time.

Furman at The Citadel, 7:00 PM
These two teams are both winless heading into the week. They have each being playing well enough to not be winless. At least one of them will have a win after this one.

Chattanooga at Wofford, 7:00 PM
The Mocs and Terriers just played on Saturday. The Mocs won a heart stopper by one, and now travel to Spartanburg for the return trip. In the battle for the bye, this one could loom large.

Monday

Western Carolina at Wofford, 7:00 PM (CSS)
So maybe Western Carolina gets a bit of a break by playing Samford for Saturday, but it is right back to playing teams considered among the best on the SoCon, and this time on the road. This one will be a battle.
