All are tournament games from here on out. Consider Saturday’s a play-in game to the NIT.

Who else is ready to go be sick to their stomach for 3 days in Asheville?

Adding to the misery of our bench play last night was having to sit Hien because he cannot come close to hitting a free throw.

I'm going to look at these last three games this way. We made all 3 games harder than they should have been. We don't look like a sharp team. Granted opponents are all gunning for us, we have done just enough to win the last two. I would rather our team be "tested" and show that they have deficiencies and things to work on before the tournament than to cruise into Asheville thinking all they have to do is show up.

Just enjoy the ride, win or lose. I still believe we will win it.

I agree with what you say. And I still believe we will win it.

Over the last three games, Furman has played like a team that ran out of gas. Emptied the tank during The Streak. We have to refuel, hopefully before Saturday. Definitely before Asheville if we are to have a chance.

I keep hoping that we didn't peak too soon. That would be extremely disappointing!

to win the tournament we need to win the one seed saturday.the one seed only has to beat one of the second or third seed.if you are the second or third seed you need to beat both of the other two seeds back to back.that is why saturday is so important.presuming all the top 3 seeds reach the semis.
lets go seize the moment and end the 40+ year ncaa tourney absense.

they need to spread the floor to create good shooting chances...I would like to see more corner 3 point attempts. Our shooting has been poor partially because we are not spreading the floor

I’m probably over exaggerating here, but I think Furman has been the #1 SoCon opponent on every team’s schedule for several years now.

It’s good that we’ve earned that sort of respect, but it also means we have to show up every game because we’re going to get everything the opponent has to throw at us.
