What is riding on this game:
1. 8 vs. 9th place, which means nothing in the grand scheme of things*;
2. 3 vs. 4 wins in conference;
3. For Samford, the legacy of the coach and the team with the most losses in school history; and
4. The embarrassment of losing to a military school in the SoCon;
*What isn’t riding on this game:
1. The suspense of who we play in the first round of the SoCon tournament—it will be a repeat of Saturday.
