Scanning the SoCon (Saturday March 2, 2024)

Saturday, March 2, 2024

All ten teams are in action on the final Saturday of the conference regular season.  Only 3 of the 10 seeds have been finalized prior to Saturday's games, they are #1, #9, and #10.  So the outcome of these five games are critical to the final seedings.  

The day kicks off with Wofford traveling to Lexington, VA. While VMI's fate is sealed, the Terriers is not. In game two of the day, tipping off at 2 pm in Timmons Arena, the Paladins host Mercer, both with identical 7-10 conference records. Game three starts at 2 pm as well and has the Catamounts traveling across the mountain to face the Mocs in Chattanooga, while the Cats are trying to move up to a #4 seed, the Mocs wants to hold on two a share of the #2 spot in the conference standings. The Citadel travels to Homewood, AL to face the other Bulldogs in a game where the results will not effect the standings as Samford has nailed down the #1 seen and The Citadel will hold down the #9 seed win or lose.  The final game of the day tips at 4 pm in Johnson City as the Spartans travel to the Freedom Center to face the ETSU Bucs, that second place in the standing is also at play for the Spartans should they win, on the "Road to Asheville"
