Dancing again: Wofford clinches bid

Wofford is headed back to the NCAA Tournament, meaning the improbable run for Furman has reached its end.

Lee Skinner scored 17 points, Eric Garcia added 15 and the top-seeded Terriers beat the 10th-seeded Paladins 67-64 in the Southern Conference championship game on Monday.

Wofford (28-6) captured its second straight SoCon Tournament title and fourth in the last six seasons.

Geoff Beans scored 15 points on five 3-pointers to lead a Furman (11-22) team that had lost eight of nine heading into the tournament. After beating The Citadel in the opening round, the Paladins upset No. 2 seed Chattanooga and No. 3 seed Mercer to reach their first SoCon championship game since 2002.
