Furman minus 3.5
Espn gives FU 57% chance of winning.
A very winnable game, a very loseable game.

Cocaine Bears or Bad News Bears: which will it be?

We should not lose this game

Keyword is should! Hope I am wrong but I doubt we will see the team that played well on Sunday. Not a Furman thing but just the way CBB is these days.
FWIW: kenpom- FU 135 MU 230
The NET. FU 149 MU 242
BTW: Samford is up to 84 in KP and 75 in the NET

We have a lot of work to do before the So Conf tourney or it will be a very quick EXIT.

The plus/minuses at the half are telling.

The crowd at Mercer reminds me of attendance at a Furman women’s game.

Yep pretty empty. Smallest crowd I think I have seen there.

The last play of the half pretty much sums up our defense or lack of it for the most part. With 9 seconds left the dribble the length of the court, make one pass to the sideline. Player on sideline dribbles uncontested for an easy layup. Woukd not have been any easier if FU had no one on the court. Could very well be the difference in the game.

what a lousy team we are..just disgusting

We seem to just not be in it this game

need to play tough defense and take care of the ball....this looks like a loss

We shoukd have been up by 20 in the first half. We just look slow, really slow tonight.

Yep just gonna have to face the facts. Mercer is a horrible team, only got to 70 4 times this year. MU on a 19-7 run. Went from up 7 to down 5. This will break FU’s 18 game win streak againt MU if it holds up.
