Need UNCG to lose one of their 3 remaining games

Maybe today:

Or maybe Wednesday:
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... =401253480


Or maybe Saturday:

If they win today they could pull a VMI and first place is theirs. Just sayin’

Western is terrible.

Welp not tonight

We will just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope they play and lose on Saturday @ETSU

Pretty poor effort tonight from Western. UNCG could claim Covid now and claim first place. I think UNCG will play Wednesday at home because there is no chance of losing, Saturday is up in the air if they decide to play or not just depends on them. Since the SoCon is ignoring the situation and has no control, just letting teams do whatver they want is pretty pathetic. The VMI/FU cancellation now gives uncg the option to not plat Saturday. If the game had been played they would not have had that option.

By that reasoning, Furman should just win tonight and claim the same for Sat to secure the second seed...However, I have a hard to thinking UNCG or Furman is taking that same approach...At least I hope not, but in all seriousness, it makes complete sense, too, because the tournament takes precedence and being healthy is paramount...Just ask Charleston Southern.

I’ll go onto say I would imagine it’s more scientific than just saying you are COVID positive...but I don’t know...The only way it would work is a false positive and then you would probably have to submit proof to avoid a two week shutdown...So this close to the tournament, I doubt anyone can pull off such a magical wonder.

Go WCU tonight!

Western Carolina has been missing Mason Faulkner for the past three games - all losses. They were blown out twice and blew a 12 point lead against Chattanooga in the other loss. I watched part of their loss to UNCG and they looked very disorganized without Faulkner. The announcer said Faulkner was missing because of "family issues" , but didn't elaborate. They said he might be back soon.

In case anyone missed it, Mason Faulkner WAS back for Western Carolina against UNCG. He lead WCU in scoring with 28 points, including the three point shot that proved to be the game winner in the last minute.
