The Southern Conference begins their tournament this Friday from Asheville, NC. Condolences to UNC-Ashvellie who lost to Charleston Southern this afternoon ending their season. Anyway…
The SoCon is currently 12th in the conference standings for KenPom. That’s ahead of Conference USA, RIP. UT-Chattanooga won the league regular season title, 14-4. They’re 76th in KenPom and coached by former Bo Ryan assistant, Lamont Paris. They’re 289th in tempo and while they hang their hat on defense, the offense is good enough.
The best KenPom team is Furman at 73. Despite this, the Mocs swept the Paladins during the regular season. Furman sort of scuffled down the stretch, finishing 3-4.
Wofford finished in a tie for 3rd with Sanford but is 106th in KenPom versus 187th. The Flying Terriers went 0-4 against the Mocs and Paladins.
It’s hard to pick against Chattanooga because they’re 4-0 against their top 2 likely biggest challenges. Any of the 3 are capable of winning a game in a few weeks, however. The pick here is Furman because why not
