I rarely think the refs were bad but I thought they were today. We were getting killled as in hacked inside.
A very tough loss.

UNCG @ Furman Feb. 5th (12pm Bon Secours Wellness Arena)
Would have liked Anderson in game toward the end...coach couldnt get him in the game for some reason
Credit UNCG. I can't believe that team was 4-6 coming in. They played a very physical style that I think the refs let them get away with too much especially around the basket. I would expect that if they were at home but not on the road!!!
I thought CBR came as close to getting a technical as he ever has and I thought they had called one on him and then they came back from a commercial and it was just UNCG with possession.
We just missed too many open shots. How can we shoot that bad.

came back from 17 down... had the rebound with 30s left. That would have been huge confidence builder. Instead ... ehhhFurmAlum wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 2:38 pmCredit UNCG.

UNCG had gone 6 minutes without scoring and we fouled a non shooter with a 1 point lead and and 30 seconds left. Just can’t let them take the ball from you in that situation. So far only fell 5 spots in kenpom but lots of games still to be played today. I know everyone is disappointed but we should be used to it. When everything is going great whether it be football or basketball FU always seems to lay the proverbial egg. Just never can get over the humo which in Furman’s case is always a mountain.
Marksmanship, folks. We have been shooting the lights out and today the numbers corrected themselves. There is a lot of b-ball left to play and we are not going to win them all. Just hope we can put it together in Sky City next month.

We couldn’t shoot 3’s very well today and that says it all. We were way overdue for a poor shooting game and I think it is better to have one now than in Asheville. We have geared our offense around the 3 pointer and this kind of game is bound to happen. It is the best thing to do for a team our size. Defensively, we played well. UNCG is also a very good defensive team. Statistically the best in the league. Give them some credit.
Not really, 3,600 is louder than 1,600. It was LOUD at the end. Final stas 30.4% and 21.4% from 3. By far tge worst of the year. Still had a chance to win. Did CBR do a postgame? I didnt hear it if he did.

No easy inside baskets for us today at all. Lots of inside shots just did not fall. We need more inside presence overall.
Meanwhile UNG got some pretty easy shots around the basket including some pit-backs after missed shots.
We never seemed comfortable on offense.
We did not execute on the last two plays (similar to the last play against UTC).
We almost pulled victory from the jaws of defeat.

CBR did postgame. He said that UNCG came out aggressive and we did not respond well. That is their type of game so it was no surprise to us but we did not do well with their aggressiveness.

We played awful until about the last 8 minutes or so. We made a great comeback , and put ourselves in the position to win.
But we missed several shots in the last two minutes, as well as the critical turnover with 30 seconds left which cost us the game.
A heartbreaker for sure!

We should never play UNCG in the Well again because they are used to playing in a large arena while we are not. This was more of a home game for UNCG than for Furman. They are also more comfortable with the depth perception and thus making more shots inside a larger arena than we are.
well, its kinda hard to explain to the lay non-baskteball person. You see, its the theory of double backing, center vision offensive stratedy. It was deployed successfully by the Russians in the 1st win in the Olympics vs the US. The miss is also strategic as it gives the other team the "appearance" of a miss but it usually turns into a basket a few possessions later. In other words... not a clue
