Never thought I would be excited about this game but right now I just want to see the Paladins play again. See y'all Wednesday!!
Southern Wesleyan
This is a great game to get the young kids some quality reps. Hope to see a lot of Pugh, Bothwell and Slawson.
This is kinda strange but this game, the NGU game and the Villanova game are all non-bracketed games in the Advocare Invitational. The actual bracketed tournament is in Florida on Thanksgiving Day and goes thru Sunday. 8 teams -Villanova, Canisius, Florida St., LSU, Memphis, Charleston, Oklahoma St. and UAB. Furman is the only team not participating in the Florida event. This is strange. Maybe we get a little money for putting the label on the games? Why would they include non-D1 games. Why would they let Furman be a ninth team that doesn't participate?

Didn't we "participate" in a similar tournament last year? I'm fairly certain we were in a non-bracketed side of the Phil Knight Invitational when we played Northeastern and UNH in Nashville...in front of about 100 people.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 12:24 amThis is kinda strange but this game, the NGU game and the Villanova game are all non-bracketed games in the Advocare Invitational.

Just a reminder 6:30 tonight, not the usual 7.
This one will look like a line drive in the box score.

Good crowd considering, lots of new faces but I wonder if this is there first FU game experience will they come back? I know CBR wanted to play a lot of players and that is fine I just wish we could have made it a little more fun for new fans to get them to come back. Hard to believe we were behind this team late in the first half. They are 0-5 with their closest loss a 12 point loss to Coker. With that said a lethargic game was certainly not unexpected. On to UNCA Sunday. They have struggled early but we need to be ready. FYI- Sundays game is on channel 40 at 4pm.
Attendance was 1,506
Normal attendance for a November mid-week D2 game is probably 800
yeah, clearly our least impressive outing of the year. Glad it was So Wesleyan instead of a competent D1 team. Our shooting was off, our defense was out of sync and if not for Rafferty in the post it could have been a really bad night. But the youngsters got experience and the team as a whole got a bit of a reality check.
