About this episode
Not even a winter storm could slow things down in the Southern Conference! We discuss the "Winter Storm 2026" scheduling shakeup and a week of basketball that defied the odds. From a historic comeback in Charleston to a superstar performance in Spartanburg, the SoCon is starting to see some separation at the top of the standings. In this Episode: The 0.5% Miracle: A dive into The Citadel’s legendary 19-point comeback against Furman—one of the "greatest escapes" in program history. Kahmare Holmes is a Problem: After a 36-point explosion against Samford and a near triple-double against Mercer, Holmes is our clear Player of the Week. Power Rankings: ETSU (7-1) remains the frontrunner, but Wofford (6-2) is surging into second place. We break down the "Big Four" and the battle to stay out of the opening night in Asheville. Gritty Road Wins: How ETSU found a way to win in the "Battle of Tennessee" despite a tough shooting night at Chattanooga. Free Throw Madness: Discussing Samford's ridiculous second-half turnaround at the line—missing 10 of their first 13, then hitting 18 of their final 19. Featured Players & Teams: We highlight standout performances from Sola Adebisi (The Citadel), Jadin Booth (Samford), Blake Barkley (ETSU), Justin Neely (UNCG), and Tom House (Furman).
