Game! Of! The! Night! Jan 17: Furman at Georgia Southern

By Kyle Whelliston on January 17, 2006 1:48 AM |

Georgia Southern has won eight in a row, and has raced out to a 3-0 record (12-4 overall) in the redundant SoCon South division. The Eagles feature the league's leading scorer (Elton Nesbitt, 21.8 ppg), they lead the league in threes (40.6%), speed (77.5 poss. per 40 minutes). and D (.95 points per possession defense). And all you want to talk about is Davidson? Sheesh!

Hey, and don't sleep on Furman either. The Paladins are 9-6 (3-1) and lead the SoCon in FG's (48.2%) and O (1.04 points per poss. offense), and they just snapped Davidson's 27-game regular season conference win streak on Saturday. Furman is led by a big backcourt of Robby Bostain and Eric Webb, who together convert themselves into 27.7 points of offensive producton a night. So I don't know what else is on tonight, but I'd have to say that you've got yourself some hot SoCon action on tap. What else do you need?

Having recently completed its fourth season, The Mid-Majority is a blog about the 22 smaller Division I college basketball conferences (and independents) by me, Kyle Whelliston. I write for ESPN.com and Basketball Times, and maintain the Basketball State statistics website as well.

Here's a brief note on who we talk about, and why.
