SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Wofford's players weren't shy about who they wanted to play in the NCAA tournament. They laughed and exchanged high fives as No. 3 and No. 4 seeds like Kentucky, Connecticut and Texas passed by Sunday.

And when the 14th seeded Terriers figured out they were playing No. 3 seed BYU on Thursday in Denver, they pointed at the Cougars players on the screen and cheered.

Senior forward Noah Dahlman says Wofford matches up well with BYU, which features the country's leading scorer in Jimmer Fredette (27.8 points a game).

The back-to-back Southern Conference champion Terriers got to the NCAA tournament by keeping the nation's fourth leading scorer, College of Charleston's Andrew Goudelock, in check.

Wofford was a No. 13 seed last year and was tied with Wisconsin in the final minute before losing by four.
