A matter of perspective...

dinhead you're not playing with a full deck if you discount Furman's big wins.

Nobody's discounting the great win over Loyola that was the catalyst for one of Furman's best wins ever in Villanova and Gardner-Webb is certainly a decent win. The fact is these are the only wins against teams with a winning record. Who's Furman's 4th best win 6-7 Citadel, 6-11 UNCW ?

3-3 against teams with a winning record. 12-0 against teams with a losing record. That's the full deck of wins. An ACE, a Jack, an Eight , a couple Jokers (Bob Jones University, Southern Wesleyan, North Greenville) and a whole lot of deuces.

Again, you are just looking at Furman...Trying comparing other teams in this league against teams with winning records...Wofford played Coppin State...One of the worst teams in Division I basketball...Coastal has a losing record...SC is one game over .500...UNCA who Furman played, has not won a Division I game...High Point is one game over .500...I mean it's dumb to compare because everyone has played some weak sisters.

Why would I contact Wofford? They're not asking me to buy full price tickets to games against Bob Jones, North Greenville, Taylors First Baptist Mens 8 PM Bible Study, et al. as part of a season ticket package.

While we're on the topic: Wofford has played UNC, Ga Tech, Univ. of SC, and Harvard at Wofford in the last two seasons and Texas Tech, Cal, Kansas, Miss State, UNC, Univ. of SC, Oklahoma on the road.

Bottom line: you're either satisfied by inflating the W-L with pushovers, or you're not. I'm not, for multiplicity of reasons.

As long as we are winning and giving ourselves a legit shot at the SoCon title and NCAA berth, I literally couldn't care less about who we play. Whether we are 25-5 with wins over North Greenville, Bob Jones, etc., or 15-12 with losses to Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina, all that matters are those few days in March and getting to that dang big dance. Never seen the Paladins there in my lifetime.

When assessing our season to this point all that needs to be said is “We are 15-3 with wins over 2 of last years Final Four teams, on the road, including the defending national champions.”

Anything more is trying to hard.

Fessor is correct.

Affirm just stop...you are arguing to argue...If you really think the program hasn't progressed then you aren't very bright...You're the same person that thinks FU should play non-scholarship football...I am pretty sure you didn't go to Furman with that logic.

I will say after the season whether or not I think it has progressed to the extent which a majority of the posters on here seem to want to believe (even while at the same time a majority of posters still write plenty pointing out Furman’s significant weaknesses in almost every game, even versus the weak opponents; so why don’t you tell THEM to stop THAT ??!!).

[DungeonRealm]

Correct losing on the road 3 times to 13-3 LSU, 15-4 ETSU, 15-3 UNCG is no cause for concern, we have won 12 straight home games and I feel we will continue to protect our home court well the rest of this season

[soconjohn]

Affirm you and Fessor can watch together on the couch and throw popcorn at the TV for every success Furman has...Why the heck even post here.

I would rather enjoy the journey and not just the couple of days in March that have been disappointing for 38 years in a row. Many one day one and done 's in that 38 years. I think it is safe to say we enjoyed the 12-0 start and top 25 ranking a lot more than we will the SoCon tourney. Hoping we break the curse though.

[soconjohn]

Furman would have been better off starting 0-12

[soconjohn]

Fans like Affirm and Fessor are thirsting for something to pick at...there you go.

Even for those of us that remember going in the 70's it's like we have never been as it was totally different back then. I remember up until the final 4, games were offered only locally and you had to hope that a local station would pick up your game. Certainly nowhere close to the media spectacle it is today. So in a way we are all waiting to go for the first time if that makes you feel any better, LOL.
