A Goude, No Make That a Great Win

North Carolina fans certainly know Andrew Goudelock.  Hopefully NCAA Tournament fans will get to enjoy the same pleasure this March.

The College of Charleston senior star poured in 25 points tonight as his College of Charleston moved to 9-2 in the better-than advertised Southern Conference, hammering reigning champ Wofford (12-11, 9-3), by a score of 79-54.  The win completes a season sweep for CoC, and positions the Cougars well for earning the top seed in the SoCon Tournament.

College of Charleston has lost to some daunting foes, Maryland, North Carolina (in a game that looked like it could be a repeat of last year's thrilling upset until the final minute saw the Tarheels pull away), and Clemson.  However, with the weakness of the bottom half of the SoCon, and the Cougars relatively light schedule outside of the ACC battery, their RPI is probably too low (91st) to merit at-large consideration.

23.5 ppg, 4.5 assists and 48% shooting?  That's All-American numbers.

If you haven't seen Goudelock play, you are really missing out.  On the season he is averaging an impressive 23.5 points a night on an even more impressive 48.5% shooting.  Even MORE impressive than that??  The 6'2'' guard averages 4.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and is shooting over 41% from behind the arc. 

As a hoops fans who has followed Goudelock's career the past two seasons, I hope the reigning SoCon player of the year gets a chance to bring his Jimmer Fredette light-esque game to the big stage of the Big Dance.  It will be a real treat to watch him try to emulate SoCon great Steph Curry for some potential opening weekend magic, and certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
