The Southern Conference women’s basketball tournament brackets are set following Saturday’s regular-season finales.
Thanks to its 92-62 win over Samford, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is the No. 1 seed. The Lady Mocs (21-8, 16-4) will play next Friday in the second game of the morning session at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte.
UTC will play the winner of Thursday’s game between No. 8 Western Carolina (7-22, 6-14) and No. 9 UNC Greensboro (9-19, 6-14). The Lady Mocs swept the Spartans and split their games with the Catamounts – both Western Carolina games were decided by 2 points.
If the Lady Mocs win they will get Saturday off before facing either No. 4 College of Charleston (19-10, 13-7) or No. 5 Georgia Southern (18-11, 13-7) at noon next Sunday at Time Warner Cable Arena.
