SoCon Basketball - Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2017



On 12-5-17 Wofford beat Georgia Tech by 3 in Spartanburg, last Saturday, ETSU dropped a 2 point loss to #10 Xavier, that same night, UNCG beat NC State in Raleigh, leading up to Wednesday's games against an ACC and SEC foe.  The SoCon went 1-1 on the night, almost making it 2-0. Wofford did pull off the upset of the season.   The SoCon is looking good this season.



Wofford 79  -  #5 North Carolina 75
The Terrier's Fletcher Magee scored 27 points as Wofford stunned No. 5 nationally ranked North Carolina in Chapel Hill, 79-75. Wofford's win snapped the reigning national champion's 23-game home winning streak. The Terriers led the entire second half but had to hold off UNC's late-game run for their first win over a top 25 ranked team. The Tar Heels got within a point twice and missed four 3-pointers for the tie in the final 6 minutes. But they never could overtake the Terriers, who counter-punched every time UNC made a run.

Furman 61 - Tennessee 66
The  Vol's Grant Williams scored a tiebreaking basket with 54 seconds left as No. 21 Tennessee squeaked by Furman 66-61 to snap the Paladins' five-game winning streak. The Paladins were led by Devin Sibley with 22 points.



Purple & Gold congratulates the Wofford Terriers on their victory in Chapel Hill.
