CTC Day Seven Recap: More Meaningless Confusion in the SoCon

The only thing I remember about the movie, Mulholland Drive, is that it was incredibly confusing with twists and turns all throughout the movie.  Normally, that is exactly the kind of movie that I love because all the confusion all comes together in a meaningful way in the end to really blow your mind.  Mulholland Drive did not.  It was confusing in a total meaningless way and then it just ended.  All the confusion was pointless because you learned nothing at the end that you didn’t know already.  That is how I feel about this year’s SoCon Tournament.  Every game produces a result more confusing than the last, but, in the end, it is totally meaningless because there is one team that is just so much better than the other 11, that we all know how this is going to turn out.  All this confusion will give no payoff when Davidson rolls into the tournament uncontested.

#1 Davidson 83 – #4 Elon 67
The Wildcats took the next step towards making this confusion meaningless, as they easily dispatched Elon.  Everyone except KA got this one right, with most people having Davidson winning this tournament.  KA lost her champion in this one.

#6 W. Carolina 82 – #2 UNC-Greensboro 77
WCU is just the most recent confusing example of the SoCon tournament, as they knock off UNC-Greensboro, a day after blowing out Wofford.  UNC-Greensboro gave up 82 points to WCU only a day after holding App State to 55 points (oh, App State scored 93 in the Opening Round against Bobby Cremins’ C of Charleston – see, totally confusing).  No one had WCU in this one.  Scoot and Waters lost their champions.

SoCON PENTHOUSE:  Lil Lohse (64)
SoCON CELLAR:  Bry, KA (30)
