		<title>2011 SoCon Tournament Championship Game – Wofford tops Charleston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(2S) Wofford 77, (1S) College of Charleston 67
Two years ago, the Wofford Terriers’ men’s basketball program had never, ever made the NCAA Tournament. Now, the sons of Spartanburg, South Carolina own back-to-back appearances in the Big Dance. These are heady times for a program that has so clearly shown how ready it is to bust some more brackets in March.
Showing more poise and precision in the most meaningful moments of competition, Wofford produced a virtually flawless second half to outplay a game but underequipped College of Charleston crew in the ...]]></description>

		<title>2011 Southern Conference Tournament Semifinal – Charleston defeats Furman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(1S) College of Charleston 63, (3S) Furman 58
In case you haven’t noticed, the top seeds in small-conference tournaments are tumbling one by one. The College of Charleston fought bravely and savagely on Sunday night in an attempt to avoid the trend that has swept through the college basketball community. After 40 minutes and not one second less, the Cougars’ determination and persistence were handsomely rewarded.
In a game that started slowly but finished with a flourish, the College of Charleston defeated the Furman Paladins in the semifinals of the 2011 Southern ...]]></description>

		<title>2011 Southern Conference Tournament &#8211; Wofford knocks off WCU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(2S) Wofford 86, (1N) Western Carolina 72
The message sent by the Wofford Terriers over the past two days at the Southern Conference Tournament is plainly apparent: Once a team learns how to nail down a championship, it is much easier to rise to the occasion in a pressure-packed setting. A team that wobbled in the earlier part of its college basketball season is now playing the best basketball in its own neck of the woods.
Wofford will be returning to the Southern Conference championship game on Monday in an attempt to ...]]></description>

		<title>Southern Conference Tournament – Day Two Overview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quarterfinals
Chattanooga, TN
 
TOP STORY:
(3S) Furman 61, (N2) Chattanooga 52
This was by far the most significant and anticipated of the day’s four quarterfinals at McKenzie Arena, and it left the hometown audience in a state of shock.
The Chattanooga Mocs, who won this event when they hosted it in 2009, figured to ride home-court advantage into a highly-anticipated semifinal showdown against the league’s regular-season champion, the College of Charleston. However, there was legitimate reason to worry in the Mocs’ camp. Chattanooga had dropped five of its previous seven games and was not ...]]></description>

		<title>Southern Conference Tournament – First Round Recap: Chattanooga Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeds are for the Southern Division (S) and Northern Division (N)
(5N) UNC-Greensboro 71 &#8211; (4S) Davidson 64
UNCG started the season 0-15, and didn’t notch a victory until it won at Appalachian State on January 13, but the 6-12 Spartans stunned an ice-cold Davidson squad in the Southern Conference Tournament opener on Friday.
The Wildcats never led in the game, shooting an abhorrent 16 percent from the field in the first half, trailing 32-24 at the break, and only 24 percent (18 for 75) in the game. The Spartans hit 46 percent ...]]></description>

		<title>Southern Conference Tournament Preview: Chattanooga Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Southern Conference Tournament looks to be a barn-burner this year. After being dominated by Davidson from 2006-2008, the Conference has provided two different champions and four new teams in the title game in the last two editions. The 90th tournament is being held on the campus of the North Division second seed, the Chattanooga Mocs, for the third time. The Mocs won the championship each of the previous two times the tournament was held there.
The top two seeds in each division receive a first round bye, with Chattanooga and Western ...]]></description>

		<title>Western Carolina Catamounts vs Charleston Cougars Basketball Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Western Carolina 70, College of Charleston 62
The regular-season finale in a Carolina-flavored mid-major conference didn’t possess a lot of meaning for one team, but it sure meant the world to the other, and that’s why a conference tournament will acquire an architecture that’s different from what everyone initially expected.
The Western Carolina Catamounts defeated the College of Charleston Cougars in Southern Conference competition from the Ramsey Center in Cullowhee, North Carolina, on Saturday afternoon. The win secured the Catamounts the No. 1 seed in the Northern Division. The Cougars had already ...]]></description>

		<title>Chattanooga Mocs vs Furman Paladins Basketball Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chattanooga 75, Furman 59
Just when the prospect of total free-fall loomed as a scary possibility, the Chattanooga Choo-Choo got back on the tracks and avoided one more basketball derailment. A season that was headed south in the Southern Conference might still find its true north after all.
The Chattanooga Moccasins defeated the Furman Paladins in a highly important Southern Conference matchup from McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Monday evening. The win kept the Mocs tied above the North Division of the SoCon with Western Carolina at 11-5. Furman fell to ...]]></description>

		<title>Charleston Cougars vs Vermont Catamounts Basketball Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[College of Charleston 85, Vermont 70 
Perhaps in some years, a BracketBuster victory carries with it a considerable amount of prestige and NCAA resume value. In 2011, the leaders of the Southern Conference merely notched another win in the midst of more urgent business.
The College of Charleston Cougars defeated the Vermont Catamounts in BracketBuster competition on Saturday afternoon from the Carolina First Center in Charleston, South Carolina. The Cougars improved to 21-7 overall, won their sixth in a row, and showed the nation why they have been the pride of ...]]></description>

		<title>Western Carolina Catamounts @ Appalachian State Mountaineers Basketball Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Western Carolina 80, Appalachian State 75
The comeback has been spectacular for the team from Cullowhee, North Carolina. Now, the only question is, “Can Western Carolina finish the job?”
The Western Carolina Catamounts scored an important road victory over the Appalachian State Mountaineers in Southern Conference competition from the Holmes Center in Boone, North Carolina, on Thursday evening. The win moved the Catamounts into a first-place tie with Chattanooga atop the North Division of the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers fell to 8-8 in conference play and are merely biding their time before ...]]></description>
