The Unofficial Furman Football Page

No doubt the top 4 teams have separated themselves from the rest of the pack AND Wofford is the team to beat.

I think Wofford has UNCG’s #.

I am not sure who we would prefer to play in semis (assuming we make it there)-UNCG or ETSU. I am confident that we would prefer not playing Wofford until the finals.

Assuming none of the top 4 lose to a lower tier team-if Furman beats Wofford and ETSU beats UNCG, FU would win the 3 way tiebreaker . If we lose to Wofford and ETSU loses to UNCG we would win the tiebreaker with ETSU and be the # 3 seed.

Worse case scenario with no surprise losses to lower tier teams, we lose to Wofford and ETSU beats UNCG meaning we would play Wofford in the semis.

I know we have to take one game at a time but other things being equal, I would prefer not playing Wofford until the finals of the So Conf tourney.

No easy games and no guarantees regardless.

Want to win them all of course
Furman played Wofford much better in Spartanburg than ETSU or UNCG
Maybe we match up well against them as Wofford seems to vs UNCG ??
We will know more after saturday night
Both ETSU and UNCG seem to be falling and Furman Wofford rising
Seems like Furman Wofford would be a fitting SOCON final
If we win out and then lose that game ?NIT ?NCAA

I like the way this team seems to be peaking at the right time and getting stronger toward playoff and NCAA's. Thats the way good teams get there. I like the way Coach Richey and staff have bleanded the players to build depth and confidence in these guys, freshman thru senior. Lets finish this thing and jump in to March Madness!

With no more home tickets left to purchase, now is a great time for everyone to get your tickets for the SoCon tourney, make sure to be there if you can for Saturday when the Paladins will tip off for our first game, with Furman still scheduling school spring break during the tourney making busing any students up there like some other schools do not possible, we will need everyone else possible from the fan base to be there and show your appreciation for the team!

Order tickets through the Paladins website so the school can get a kickback.

Our last 2 games will be against Samford and UTC and it is very likely we will play one of those in the first tournament game. Not an ideal situation.

I'm really hoping we can sneak into that #2 seed and play a bottom 4 team first and potentially avoid Wofford until the finals.
