Champs concentrate on school

Wofford basketball players will take the next couple of days off. It’s not just to rest and enjoy the fact that they won the Southern Conference tournament Monday night, but mostly to concentrate on school.
The Terriers earned the first-round bye and instead of hanging out in Charlotte to watch the early part of the tournament [...]

Live from SoCon championship

Sure, you’ll be watching the  Southern Conference basketball tournament championship game tonight between Wofford and Appalachian State on ESPN2. But I’ll be live blogging from Charlotte anyway just in case your cable goes out.
PREGAME
… SEVEN BUSES of Wofford students are coming to Time Warner Cable Arena tonight and it looks like most of them have [...]

Behind the scenes after semifinal

Wofford head coach Mike Young walked into the postgame news conference following the Southern Conference basketball tournament game Sunday night and the first thing he saw was Stephen Curry from Davidson.
“Whoa,” Young said.
Luckily, it was on a TV screen, leftover programming on SportSouth after the network showed the Terriers beating Western Carolina to get to [...]

Live from Wofford vs. Western

PREGAME
When the driver of the shuttle  from the parking lot to Time Warner Cable Arena for tonight’s Southern Conference tournament semifinals game in Charlotte heard I was covering Wofford and another writer with me was rooting for the the Terriers to beat Western Carolina, the bus came to an abrupt stop.
“Hey, I went to Western,” [...]

Wofford, WCU both much improved

Wofford’s basketball team is much different (much better) than the one that lost to Western Carolina in early December.
They will meet again at 6 p.m. Sunday in the Southern Conference tournament semifinals at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. Back on Dec. 2 in Cullowhee, N.C., the Catamounts took a 72-67 victory in the [...]

Dahlman ticked while others laugh

There were no more questions for the Wofford basketball players at the postgame news conference Saturday following the tournament quarterfinals victory in Charlotte against UNC Greensboro, so they were dismissed.
As soon as Noah Dahlman and Junior Salters got behind the curtain to head back to the locker room, a reporter asked head coach Mike Young [...]

Live from Wofford vs. UNCG

PREGAME
… Sitting courtside with the Wofford assistant coaches watching Western Carolina take care of Elon in the first game of the day here at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte. They are on press row with me, so I expect to be able to sit on the bench with them in the next game as the [...]

Long, strange trip for Terriers

It’s not an I-Pod. It’s a G-Pod.
It’s filled entirely with Grateful Dead.
I made it only a couple of weeks ago, copying all the CDs my friend Jason Placer has spent his hard-earned money to acquire.
So imagine my excitement when, in response to one of my questions about Wofford College basketball, head coach Mike Young said: [...]

Odds of winning SoCon tourney

We can figure out all by ourselves that Wofford is the favorite to win the Southern Conference tournament. The Terriers went 15-3 in the league (15-1 after the first week of December) to win the regular season and the No. 1 overall seed.
But the team with the second-best chance, according to odds makers? It’s not [...]

Dahlman tough on teammates

Wofford’s Noah Dahlman might seem like the strong, silent type from a distance.
But up close, it’s often a different story.
“Noah gets real mad, especially at Cam (Rundles) and me,” said Jamar Diggs, who played AAU ball with the two of them in Minnesota. “He expects more out of us because he knows us. He knows [...]
