Announcers “suck” because they recognize the level of play. Both teams “suck” on D because while big shot after big shot is made with guys draped all over them. GoFurman is obviously free to express is opinions but this was simply disrespectful to the game.

“MONEY TALKS. I WON”. … deep thoughts… congratulations.
Yes. Money talks. . Let me know which sports book and how much you bet. I mean we have to make money when it’s obvious. One key Wofford should be less tired. Was shocked they were an underdog. That said, I’m always pulling for FU. Matter of fact I’m basically PAYING for Furman to win !! Think about it.

I bet Wofford but was absolutely wanting Furman to win !!! So I’m paying for Furman to win. Did you PAY FOR FURMAN TO WIN ? Or just “hope” we would win? lol

Also it wasn’t high level play WHEN THE ANNOUNCERS SAID IT. Guy hits wide open three in second half…. Announcer “that’s high level basketball!” no. That’s a good shot WIDE OPEN. Strong offense. Good stuff. But ITS HORRIFIC DEFENSE. these announcers were bragging on high level basketball at times of NO DEFENSE … on specific plays of no defense ! It’s the typical fan bias of offense and not paying attention to defense. Move your feet

Proud of this team. Overachieved. 25-9 and a Champ game appearance when folks like Apaladin predicted a sub 500 reg season and play in game for the tourney.

Great kids. Great coaches. Couldn’t be prouder of this group. A season that exceeded everyone’s expectations.

What sucks is a 25-9 season and runner up in one of the top mid major leagues in the country and no NIT bid. They deserve it.

This is WRONG. Maybe we deserve an NIT. I’ll let that go. But WE ARE NOT RUNNER UP in even the SoCon. We are FIFTH in SoCon standings for the whole year. FIFTH. Don’t facts hurt. Jk.

But That doesn’t deserve an NIT. IT DOESNT. and your statement is patently INCORRECT. we are NOT the runner up in one of the top mid major leagues. We we were a runner up IN THE WEEKEND TOURNEY. Only there

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. maybe if we had played better ALL YEAR (IE CHATTANOOGA etc) we would get an NIT.

but that’s how it works. Play better ALL YEAR. not just at end. That’s what we get for playing better now but FIFTH in SoCon standings all year. No cushion.

These are just FACTS man. Which kill arguments

PC- please don’t say things that are not true. We all are in a bad mood right now, but that is not necessary.
Thanks AP. This. We weren’t the runner up in SoCon

PC is just flat LYING to try and stretch to make a point. And that’s a bad look for Furman fans everywhere. That we would LIE to make a point. We were FIFTH in SoCon. Runner up in the weekend which doesn’t carry near the weight of what you did ALL YEAR.

We were FIFTH inSoCon. Look it up on espn anywhere. FACTS MAN. FACTS

Here ya go - Looks like FIFTH to me and everyone else. Let’s chill.

And AP blocked too. Now I am truly free of pissy negativity and bad vibes.

Love it.

Thank you.
Negativity? YOU are the one who LIED to make a point

You LIED. saying we finished as runner up in conference. I didn’t lie.

Justify yourself. I see no reason for lying

I'm a little nervous to be posting in this forum right now, but I'm proud of the season we had. Would have like to see us play in the tournament again but such is life. I feel good about next year; we'll finally have a new and improved Timmons Arena and I think by November we'll all be energized again. Not sure how the transfer portal/eligibility mess will shake up but I have trust in this program. Forever proud to be a Din.

That’s the beauty of this program and this staff. CBR isn’t perfect but he usually finds a way.

Can’t win em all as much as we’d like to.

A shame a team with a 25-9 record and winners of 6 of 7 has no place to go. Will miss watching Pjay play, he was a baller and as clutch as they come. Nick Anderson too. Now the long drought begins without FU spectator sports. Almost 6 months until football. 😥😥

Forever proud ! . No worries. We all hate losing to Wofford. lol.

I’m proud too. Very positive. Really was just annoyed at a few things one being announcers who, when a WIDE OPEN 3 was hit (some were tough but some were wide open. One was a dagger lat by Woffd) saying that’s “great basketball “ .. NO. THATS GREAT OFFENSE. there were some bad defensive possessions. But announcers don’t watch D unless it’s a block maybe. Announcers would love a 110-100 game. Which is horrible. 80-33. Now that’s basketball ! DOMINATE. Play DEFENSE !!!

Hope the arena helps recruiting

And I do know my stuff. Horns. Pin Downs. Push gate etc.

To show I do you can see my complaints about D. Kenpom just updated. Furman finishes the year ranked 115 in O. And 187 :shock: in D. That’s our issue.
Wofford similar. Like I said. 228 defense. Horrible
