NCAA Tournament Furman 75 #10 South Carolina 67. To show how different it was back then, this was a single game played at the Palestra in Philadelphia. Games were syndicated and local stations had to pick them up to be televised. On thst same day which was a Saturday I went to Charlotte to see Elvis in concert that afternoon and got home in time to see the game. That was a great day and one I will never forget.

One of the biggest and best games in FU athletic history. USC was a basketball powerhouse. I’ll never forget that FU center, Fessor Leonard, was asked about playing a USC top 10 team and he retorted, ‘we’ll see what they made of.” We found out and USC found out what our Paladin team was made of…the right stuff. Go Dins.

Yes I was vague
Meaning this is basically a 48 year drought since winning a NCAA tourney game, next year will be 49 years, if we win a NCAA tourney game next year then the drought will end before it hits 50 years, that's all I meant lol

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
