The league's top offensive and defensive team rolled into the semifinals as KeKe Calloway's 20 bench points led Mercer to a 67-42 win.

Calloway, fellow reserve Alex Williams (14 points) and the excellent Sydni Means (13 points and nine assists) helped make up for an uncharacteristically off-game for two-time league player of the year Kahlia Lawrence, who was held to eight points on 4-of-12 shooting.

Meanwhile, the Bears defense was good once again (Wofford shot 31%), and the Macon, Georgia school is in the semis for the third time in as many seasons since joining the league.

Second-team all-conference guard Chloe Wanink led Wofford with 19 points on 18 shots, though she received little help as no other player scored more than seven.

Game 111 - Wofford women at Chattanooga

February 6 at McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, TN

Wofford came into this Southern Conference matinee last in the league in three-point percentage defense at about 32 percent and the host Mocs were able to exploit that on their way to a 65-48 win.

Chattanooga, now 16-7 and 7-2 in league play, hit 8-of-15 from behind the arc to win its third straight. Redshirt-junior guard Queen Alford knocked down three 3-pointers on her way to a team-high 18 points and Aryanna Gilbert and reserve Sydney Vanlandingham added two each for the Mocs.


1. Edgar Farmer Jr. is in his 12th season as Wofford head coach. After Saturday's loss, he's 97-249 and hasn't yet had a winning season. At 7-16, year 12 isn't going to be his first.

I just don't understand why Farmer is still the coach.

97-249?!

Things clearly aren't working.

Is Edgar Farmer Sr. available?

















There's Farmer in the background (arms crossed), still stuck on 97 wins.


2. At one point in the fourth quarter, the ball did that stuck between the backboard and rim thing and hilarity ensued.





















I would've preferred playing the rest of the game with the ball stuck in that spot.

Or maybe that becomes a 1/2 point basket in the future - putting an end to the weird rim-backboard-ball relationship with a wicked, wild lay-up attempt!
