NGU @ Furman Nov. 7th (Frank Selvy Appreciation Night)

9. Furman Paladins
The snooty Power 5 parvenus view the SoCon as one of the "hidden gems" in the game. But ask them about the difference between a Keydet and a Catamount, and watch them get exposed faster than an exhibitionist.
True die-hards like us know this league is outstanding. So when a Furman team that came this close to an NCAA tournament bid last season is voted preseason favorites, it resonates.
The Paladins are for real, for real.
Coach Bob Richey's team led Division I in 3-pointers last season (401) and finished 13th in 3-point percentage (38%) -- and returns another roster of sharpshooters this season, led by fifth-years Mike Bothwell and Jalen Slawson.
An early-season run with Belmont, not to mention the Charleston Classic and a visit to NC State, will serve as sparring rounds before nightly phone-booth fights in the SoCon. Let's get it on.

Looks like about 150 tickets left for tomorrow night. Several hundred left for Belmont.
