CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Cameron Rundles scored 20 points and Wofford used stifling defense to overcome a long second-half scoring drought and beat Appalachian State 56-51 on Monday night for the Southern Conference title and its first NCAA tournament berth.
The school perhaps best known in sports circles as being the training camp home of the Carolina Panthers won its 13th straight game despite going nearly 10 minutes without a point.
The Terriers (26-8), who moved up to Division I in the mid-1990s, also got 13 rebounds from Tim Johnson to overcome 35 percent shooting.
Appalachian State (22-12) shot just 29 percent as coach Buzz Peterson came up short in his bid to return the Mountaineers to the NCAA tournament in the first year of his second stint at the school.
Appalachian's top two scorers - Donald Sims and Kellen Brand - combined to shoot 2 of 23.
