Mountaineers battle Terriers for SoCon titleNCAA Basketball Betting Lines03/08/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Wofford Terriers make their first-ever appearance in the title game of the Southern Conference Tournament tonight as they tangle with the Appalachian State Mountaineers for the right to move on to the NCAA Tournament. The top seed from the South Division of the conference, Wofford entered this year's event with a record of only 5-11 all-time, but the squad made easy work of UNC Greensboro on Saturday with a 59-47 win, and then took care of Western Carolina with an even more comfortable 77-58 triumph last night. As for the Mountaineers, the top seed from the North Division, their goal is to win their first SoCon crown since 2000. ASU took care of The Citadel on Saturday (71-61) and then defeated the College of Charleston on Sunday night with a lopsided 77-54 final to advance to the championship round at Time Warner Cable Arena. The Mountaineers won the only meeting of the season between these two teams by a scant 77-76 score back in early December. As a result, ASU now leads the all-time series by a count of 22-10. Terry Martin came off the bench to tally 17 points, leading four players in double figures, as the Wofford Terriers picked up the 19-point win over the Western Carolina Catamounts yesterday. Noah Dahlman registered a double-double for the Terriers with his 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Jamar Diggs and Tim Johnson delivered 12 and 10 points, respectively. The charity stripe played a huge role in this meeting as Wofford outscored Western Carolina by a count of 30-11 at the line. The scoring burst by Martin was rather unexpected given that he is averaging just 4.5 ppg on the season. Dahlman remains the lone double-digit scorer for the program with his 17.0 ppg, shooting 58.8 percent from the floor and 69.9 percent at the free-throw line for a team that is outscoring opponents by more than eight points per contest. Kellen Brand erupted for a career-high 37 points as he led the Mountaineers to a 23-point win over the College of Charleston on Sunday. Brand finished the night shooting not only 14-of-19 from the floor but also 5-of-6 beyond the arc for the Mountaineers, while Isaac Butts registered a double-double with 10 points and a team-best 11 rebounds. Josh Hunter contributed 12 points and eight boards and Donald Sims 10 points and eight rebounds in the win as well. Appalachian State turned the ball over 20 times on the night, but made up for it by leading the way on the glass, 46-26. Brand's scoring average has now been bumped up to 11.7 ppg, but that is still a long way behind Sims and his 20.3 ppg, stemming from his 43 percent shooting from three-point range and a nation-leading 95.2 percent at the free-throw line. Because Sims has been so successful at the charity stripe, the team as a whole is converting a solid 74.1 percent over the course of 33 games.
