The Road to Asheville (Jan 23, 2016)

A full slate of conference games were scheduled for Saturday, but thanks to Winter Storm Jonas, that schedule is in a state of flux.

As of the time of this article, three games have been postponed, with the Mercer/Western Carolina game & the Samford/UNCG games were moved to Sunday, and the Furman/VMI game now scheduled for Monday.

As of now, the other two games remain scheduled for Saturday.


The Citadel (9-10, 2-4 SoCon) at ETSU  (12-7, 5-1 SoCon)   4 pm  (ESPN3)
The Citadel Bulldogs travel north to Johnson City, Tennessee to meet the ETSU Bucs in Freedom Hall. The Bulldogs are 3-6 in road games this season, while the Bucs are 8-1 in protecting the home court, with their only home loss coming at the hands of UNCW.  The Bucs are coming off a home win over Mercer and have won 7 of their last 8 games, while the Bulldogs are coming off a road win over Western Carolina and are on a two game winning streak. Look for that streak to end, as the Bucs once again defend the home court, with a 15 point victory.

Wofford (8-11, 4-2 SoCon) at Furman (9-10, 3-3 SoCon)  4 pm  (ESPN3)
The Terriers travel I-85 South to Greenville to meet the Furman Paladins in Timmons Arena on Saturday.  The Terriers are only 3-9 in road games, while the Paladins are a surprising 7-1 in games played in Timmons this season. Wofford is coming off a one point road loss to Mercer, and the Paladins are coming off a three point loss to the Citadel on the road. Look for the Paladins to continue to defend the home court, with a 10 point win over Wofford.
