Last night was one of the greatest SoCon Championship games of all time, no doubt about it

Hope we will get back to title game again very soon, I wish UTC all the best in the NCAA's next week

Hindsight is 20/20 but wish we would have called a timeout to set up the defense. Mistake not to have anyone on the inbounder and should have jumped him when he got the ball. He never had to vary his path or hesitate. One pass and time would have run out.

Curses in sports are “a real thing.”
If we have one, let’s move beyond it.
Since 1980.
5 current and 3 former SoCon teams have won the SoCon Tournament:
(current)
•Chattanooga 12 times (and they also have a 3-4 NIT record since 1980)
•ETSU 8 times
•Wofford 5 times
•UNCG 3 times
•WCU 1 time
(former)
•Davidson 7 times
•Marshall 3 times
•ASU 1 time
I still believe our times will come.
“1-year plan: catch WCU”
“10-year plan: catch Wofford and UNCG”
“20-year plan: catch ETSU”
“30-year plan: catch Chattanooga”.
****AMEND THE ABOVE TO: “Win the SoCon at least once every 10 years (not once every 43 years)”.
Let’s keep supporting this program, keeping it moving forward at a high quality level.
Let’s keep our eyes on good things ahead.

Agreed. Although I am extremely disappointed, we are closer than we have been in 42 years. It took a despiration heave and prayer to keep us out of the tourney this year. Better days are ahead, and the days of kicking FU basketball while they are down are over. I love how our rivals on twitter are tweeting "1980" and the like after last night. This includes the esteemed "voice of the Terriers". Real classy. I'll bet we make a return trip to the tourney before they do. Take it to the bank.

Cheeseball is relieved his team did not have to become 0-3 against Furman this season.
