Wofford Terriers
Southern Conference (29-4, 18-0)
Wofford has quietly had a superb season. Early in the season it was conference rival Furman that was getting all of the headlines, but it has been Wofford who managed to make it through the tough Southern Conference with a perfect 18-0 record. It is rare for a team from the SoCon to have at-large possibilities, but this has been an exceptional year for the conference. Teams like Furman, UNC Greensboro and East Tennessee State have had great seasons, but it was Wofford who cruised through the conference.
Big Wins: 11/26 at South Carolina (81-61), 1/10 at UNC Greensboro (90-76), 2/23 at Furman (72-64)
Bad Losses: 11/6 North Carolina (67-78), 11/18 at Oklahoma (64-75), 12/19 at Mississippi State (87-98)
Coach: Mike Young
Why They Can Surprise:
Wofford has won games with their three-point shooting ability and that is always the great equalizer in the NCAA Tournament. The team as a whole shoots an impressive 41.6 percent from beyond the arc, ranking second in the nation. No player in the nation has hit more three-pointers than Fletcher Magee. He has connected on 42.8 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc and averages 20.5 points per game. Nathan Hoover and Stom Murphy are even more efficient from long range and those three will hoist up plenty of long range attempts in the tournament.
Why They Can Disappoint:
Cameron Jackson and Keve Aluma will have their hands full on the defensive end. Jackson, a 6-8 senior, is a fine interior scorer and rebounder, but he will be asked to do a lot against talented frontcourt players in the NCAA Tournament. With Aluma and Matthew Pegram providing options and some depth, the Terriers could have enough in the frontcourt to contain a team with a couple talented big men scorers. But their lack of success against good teams like North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kansas and Mississippi State leaves doubt that Wofford can win more than a single game in the tournament.
