The Cats are 25-18 all time against the Wofford Terriers, and again this year, like last season, the Terriers and Cats only play one game in the regular season, saving Wofford's head coach from having to travel to the one place he'd rather "go to hell than go to (expletive) Cullowhee".
In preseason voting, Wofford was picked sixth by the coaches, and fifth by the media. while Terrier guard Karl Cochran was selected to the preseason all-conference team.
