Wednesday night in the Southern Conference is a powder keg with implications all over the standings. On today’s episode, we break down two massive matchups that will define the race for the #2 seed and the crucial first-round byes in Asheville. In this episode: • The #1 Seed Response: How ETSU will handle the "mountaintop" after clinching their first regular season title since 2019-20. • The "Back-Breaker" Stats: A look back at how ETSU’s 19 points off turnovers and 26-of-28 free throw shooting dismantled Wofford in their last meeting. • Wofford’s Path to Victory: Why the Terriers must turn the game into a perimeter battle to overcome the interior dominance of Cam Morris III and Blake Barclay. • The Closer: Evaluating the impact of SoCon Player of the Week Brian Taylor II as he looks to shut the door in Johnson City. • Barnburner in Cullowhee: Can Western Carolina extend their four-game winning streak to secure a top-six position? • Mercer’s Road Test: Whether the Bears can replicate their January dominance when they jumped out to a 13-0 lead against the Catamounts. • The Difference Makers: The impact of Armani Mighty’s double-doubles and the ability of guys like Zaire Williams to provide extra offensive production. Can WCU make it 5 in a row? Presented by Ingles Markets
