SoCon Edition: FEB-FRENZY in the SoCon!
Podcast: SoCon Fast BreakPublished On: Mon Feb 09 2026
Description: Football is officially in the books, which means the road to Asheville is heating up! In this episode of SoCon Fast Break, we dive into the mid-February madness where the "baked-in" identities of teams are being tested by injuries, upsets, and some seriously head-scratching performances. In this episode:The Power Shift: Are ETSU and Wofford turning this into a two-horse race? We discuss their consistency and how they've managed to avoid the "roller coaster" rides affecting the rest of the league. The "Hiccup" Week: Mercer and Furman both had weeks they’d rather forget. We debate whether Mercer’s 49-point outing against Samford was a fluke or a sign of fatigue. Samford is Surging: The Bulldogs have found their defensive teeth, holding Mercer to 27% from the field and moving within striking distance of the top three. Justin Neely’s Masterclass: From record-tying free throw attempts to game-winning "ice in his veins" moments, we break down why the UNCG star is the clear Player of the Week. Road Warriors: We celebrate The Citadel’s recent success on the road and wonder if Western Carolina can fix their travel woes before it’s too late. Team of the Week: We’re split between the UNCG Spartans and the ETSU Buccaneers. Player of the Week: A unanimous nod to Justin Neely for his dominant double-doubles. Power Rankings: We shuffle the deck as teams 4 through 7 are now separated by only a single game. Is anyone safe from chaos in the SoCon?
