Basketball: Scanning the SoCon

This coming basketball season, Purple & Gold will participate in  Scanning the SoCon,  a weekly feature covering Southern Conference men's basketball.  Scanning the SoCon kicked off during the last basketball season, with 4 different SoCon blog participants.  This season, a participant from each SoCon school will be included in the weekly features.

Each week there will be a SoCon power rankings, a vote on the Game of the Week, and then a set of at least four participants (on a rotating basis) will answer questions about their team and the SoCon. The SoCon feature will be published on Sunday afternoon/evening, just like last year.    You will be able to read each and every article right here on Purple and Gold, so please check back daily.  

Below is excerpt from the announcement on Mocs Mania. 

Last year, me along with three other fans from around the SoCon started something we called Scanning the SoCon. It came out every Sunday during the season, and there were power rankings and we wrote about our individual teams and wrote about stories from around the conference. It was a lot of fun, and I think it provided some more insight into the SoCon, and gave SoCon fans something else to look forward to.
This year, we're going a step further. A representative from each school in the SoCon has been asked to participate in the Scanning the SoCons this year. Each week, all of us will vote on power rankings, and will vote on the Game of the Week, and then a set of at least four people per week will answer a set of questions. This will still come out on Sunday afternoon/evening, just like last year. It will give even more insight into the SoCon, and get even more perspectives.
