Men’s Basketball Conference Tournaments: Which Dark Horses Could Steal the Last NCAA Bids This Week?
With Samford, West Carolina, Furman and Mercer tightly clustered behind in the standings, ETSU’s path to the championship is far from secure. Samford is powered by Jadin Booth, who leads the conference in WAR (3.32), while Mercer features two of the league’s top performers in Baraka Okojie (2.77) and Armani Mighty (2.37). Wofford’s Kahmare Holmes also ranks among the conference leaders in WAR (2.68), giving the Terriers a proven impact player capable of swinging a single-elimination matchup.
