You may be right, but I think he does it intentionally a lot when a defender is in his face hoping that he'll draw a foul a couple of times a game. The two examples in those highlights are pretty obvious. He's not going to look at the ref each time because he's playing the long game that he'll get a cheap call every now and then. Not illegal, doesn't take away from his talent really, but certainly a little unsavory and annoying as an opposing fan or just someone that likes the game of basketball. No different than a kicker or punter that falls down after being barely touched by a defensive player. Players try to get any little edge they can to win a game.Bootie wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 3:44 pmMagee can shoot off-balance like nobody I've seen.

I do not believe he does that on purpose just to try and get a foul, I think it's just a result of the way he plays the game. I respect his athleticism.
(23-4) Wofford @ (22-5) Furman Feb. 23rd (Worst Officiated Game in SoCon History)

In which case we're prolly best to stay mum. While unsavory, I distinctly remember Stephen Croone sheepishly admitting to "selling" in his day.

Absolutely he is 100% flopping on purpose to get a foul call, there is no doubt about it, none
If flopping was a tracked stat, Magee would be setting records
And the crowd chants:
Flllloooppperrrrrr Mageeeee
Fllllooopppperrrrr Mageeeee
Has a nice ring to it and suits him well!

Magee is a great player. I know of no college basketball player that does not sometimes exaggerate in order to get a foul called. If he happens to flop on one or more shots, so be it. I personally would rather give credit where credit is due!
All that being said, and the season is not over, if I were to vote today, I would vote for MR as player of the year in the So Con. That could change based on the remaining games of the season.

Im not sure what to think about this. Sounds like we will be depending on a large, walkup from students and staff. Why don't they put unclaimed tickets on sell an hour before game time? I was hoping for this game to be packed but this coupled with the parking issues sounds like it may not be. Hope Im wrong.

Ummmm, please don't tell Wofford is claiming they will make a run to the final four, please tell me they posted this based off some other source lol............. Who are they quoting???
It seems like decision has been made to leave seats open for students to prevent a scenario like we had vs ETSU when supposedly students didn’t show because they thought it was sold out.apaladin wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:34 pmIm not sure what to think about this.

Villanova and LSU lost tonight. A little good news is Lipscomb, ranked ahead of us lost to FGCU who is 12-17.
Yep Lipscomb lost, as well as several other bubble teams
Plus Loyola won and they remain the first place team in the MVC
All this bubble business will only matter if we take care of business this Saturday, Beat Woff!!

Wofford is winless in Timmons against the Paladins the past three years. The Paladin victories have been by progressively larger margins - 1, 9, 24 points. None of the current Paladin players has lost to Wofford here. Why would we be intimidated playing at home?affirm wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 11:02 pm... What I am concerned about is Furman’s team “letting Wofford get into Furman’s head” due to Wofford’s basketball success this year so far and due even to Wofford’s basketball comparative success generally over the entire last 10 years. What do they have now, 4 NCAA tourney seasons in the decade? Time for Furman to start catching up.
Wofford has a good team. They might win. Nobody will be in anybody' s head for past success.
