(23-4) Wofford @ (22-5) Furman Feb. 23rd (Worst Officiated Game in SoCon History)

[DungeonRealm]

All you have to do is watch this lol, its ridiculous flopping at its finest

13 seconds in Magee flops
50 seconds in Magee flops and gets a foul call for a 4 point play

It cannot be disputed, the kid flops nonstop out there

This video proves my point. He rarely jumps straight up to shoot. His body is always twisted. Many times, he lands on one foot. His momentum takes him to the floor. That is what makes him so difficult to defend. Beat Woffy.

This video proves my point 100%, he flops himself to the ground after shooting three's many times on purpose for the sole reason of trying to draw phantom foul calls, basketball play like this is the very reason the term "flop" has been coined
If Mr. Magee does not like that name for himself then he can cut this junk out of his game easily, otherwise he will be appropriately referred to as Flopper Magee

You are the only one giving him that name. I’ve never seen it from any other source. I don’t like Woffy or Magee. But, I respect what they have done to put a winning product on the court. Magee is just one part of a really good team. Beat Woffy.

As the most visible player on our most hated rival team, Ol' Flopper deserves a disparaging nickname. Flopper is far more family friendly than any name I've coined.

Jackson poses and finds the camera after dunks. Quite a contrast from Rafferty who gets it done without much show of emotion. I've been surprised lately when I've seen Matt smiling on the court during some of the big wins.

Wofford's players are good kids...Most understand that and it's all in good fun...Those who take it too seriously, like that guy that wanted to like fight or whatever from Wofford takes it way too seriously...Basketball is a game where if you can't have some light-hearted fun, then I am not sure what you do to relax...That's what sports are...An avenue to get away from the stressors of life...I believe in a little heckling done within reason and in the spirit of the game.

Is there an instance where we would suggest kids on a college basketball team aren't good kids?

Yes.

Both teams and fan bases know what is at stake here. This is about a lot more than pride or bragging rights.

Furman can't let McGee beat them. Wofford can't let Rafferty beat them. The game, I think, is going to come down to those support players. We'll need a big game from Gurley and Mounce.

I agree that this game against Wofford, and any additional game(s) we have against them this year, will be won by the players actions. Of course, officiating might play a part. What I am concerned about is Furman’s team “letting Wofford get into Furman’s head” due to Wofford’s basketball success this year so far and due even to Wofford’s basketball comparative success generally over the entire last 10 years. What do they have now, 4 NCAA tourney seasons in the decade? Time for Furman to start catching up.

This team didn't let 2 national championships in 3 years stop them from beating Villanova, and this collective group of players has arguably had more success than Wofford's group. I agree with your point that Furman needs to catch up in the tournament appearances, but I disagree that Wofford has any sort of mental advantage going into the game.

Key to the game (in my opinion): Wofford's 42% 3 pt shooting vs FU defense holding opponents 31.6% 3 pt shooting

[stonemd]

I'm not trying to pick on Cam Jackson - just noticing the contrasts in approaching the game. Rafferty seems so controlled and unflappable out there. I am also impressed how his stats have risen each year to stellar levels.

[CharlieFU]

Magee will get his 20-25 points. Regardless. Just don’t let Storm Murphy or Cam Jackson beat us.

Any other source lol what does that mean? I respect Magee too, but I sure as heck won't turn a blind eye to his ridiculous flopping exploits
ETSU called him by that name all last season

Fyi, Flopper Magee all time postseason record: 2-4

[DungeonRealm]

Going by sagarin and factoring in home court Wofford would be favored by about 1pt

Magee can shoot off-balance like nobody I've seen. He does often end up on the floor after a shot, but I've never seen him get up looking at the ref for a call or whining bc he didn't get it. I do not believe he does that on purpose just to try and get a foul, I think it's just a result of the way he plays the game. I respect his athleticism.
