Who Grabs the Final Top-6 Seed? | SoCon Season Finale

The regular season comes to an end, and the seating scenarios are enough to give any fan a headache! While ETSU has already clinched the outright title, the battle for the Top 6 is wide open.

In this episode:

  1. ETSU at Mercer: The newly crowned champions take their #1 scoring defense into Macon to face the league's top-scoring offense. We discuss the "Barocco Okogie factor" and whether Mercer’s starters are battling "tired legs" down the stretch.
  2. Furman at Western Carolina: The Catamounts are the hottest team in the SoCon with a 5-game winning streak. We analyze the Julian Somalo injury factor and the specific tiebreaker scenarios that could vault WCU into the Top 6.
  3. UNCG at Samford: In a rematch of an 89-82 thriller, can Lennie Acuff’s Bulldogs avenge their early-season loss? We explore Samford's motion offense and why the Spartans likely won't repeat their 70% shooting performance from the perimeter.

Chaos is coming to the SoCon!
