Scanning the SoCon - Week Ten

Each week, our SoCon bloggers/message boarders (one representing each team) will vote on Power Rankings, a Game of the Week, and Player of the Week. At least three will answer a series of questions on their team and things of interest around the SoCon.

Game of the Week 
Western Carolina at Georgia Southern

Sum up your team 
Western Carolina seems to be playing some pretty good basketball right now (at least at home). The Cats have won four of their last five, including wins over preseason favorite Elon, as well as a surging UNCG, beating both very convincingly. Jumping off to a 2-0 conference record hopefully bids well for the Cats.

How much difference do you think Jay Canty will make in coming back to App State? Why? 
Canty will make some difference for the Mountaineers, but not enough to pull ASU out of the bottom third of the conference. ASU plays Elon on Tuesday, and that game should tell us lots about both teams, should ASU win it wont bode well for Elon in conference play.

Which player do you think is the most underrated player in the SoCon? Why? 
Kyle Cain, UNCG - Cain is averaging over 30 mins per game, putting up 51.7% field goals and leading the Spartans in rebounds with 8.5 per game. If UNCG continues to improve as a team, Cain's fortunes will continue to improve as the Spartans floor leader.

What is the top rivalry in the SoCon right now? Why? 
Probably the top rivalry right now would be Davidson and Elon. Next season it's The Citadel and VMI, as well as, UTC and ETSU.
