  • The regular-season champion and runner-up will get automatic byes into the semifinals of the conference tournament.

  • Only two Big South teams (Winthrop and Radford) finished last season with a winning record.

  • Charleston Southern has three players on its team from Serbia -- Mladen Karanovic, Nikola Pejovic and Mirko Mandic.

  • Coastal Carolina is developing its own television package for this season. All of the Chanticleers' games will be televised, either live or tape-delayed, on a local independent channel in the South Carolina coastal region.

  • Elon head coach Mark Simons is married to Gail Goestenkors, the head women's coach at Duke.

  • High Point head coach Jerry Steele was the head coach of the old ABA's Carolina Cougars during the second half of the 1970-71 season.

  • It will be teacher vs. pupil on Nov. 17 when High Point plays at Wake Forest. Steele coached Wake Forest head coach Dave Odom at Guilford College.

  • Marcus Stewart, who was dismissed last season from the Coastal Carolina team, has transferred to Winthrop.
