Southern Conference Tournament Quarterfinals: No. 1 Davidson completed its first step toward the NCAA Tournament by beating No. 8 Wofford 82-49. The Wildcats got 20 points from sophomore sharpshooter Stephen Curry and extended their winning streak to 20 games. No. 5 UNC-Greensboro will be up next for Davidson after the Spartans beat No. 4 Appalachian State 63-46. Senior forward Kyle Hines scored 20 points to lead UNC-Greensboro.
No. 7 Elon upset No. 2 Chattanooga 60-57 in the quarterfinals thanks to junior forward Ola Atoyebi, who scored four straight points in the final minutes to help the Phoenix overcome a 57-54 deficit. Atoyebi finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds. No. 6 College of Charleston provided the second upset of the day by cruising past No. 3 Georgia Southern 87-73. The Cougars led by as much as 27 points in the second half. Junior forward Jermaine Johnson led Charleston with 18 points. If the Cougars can beat Elon in the semifinals, they will essentially have a home game against Davidson or UNC-Greensboro with an automatic bid on the line. [3/08/08]
