(11-19) Mercer vs. (24-6) Furman March 9th (Quarterfinals)

[gman]

Go Paladins! Beat Mercer.

In the tourney it will be key for Gurley to crash the boards hard, we are 11-1 when he gets 5 rebounds or more, and the one loss was the late 10 point collapse vs. Samford that we lost by 2
We NEED him rebounding

Mounce seems so key to me. When he's aggressive and hitting from outside, everything else seems to fall into place. Not sure what's cause and what's effect, but when Mounce shines, FU seems to do well.

BTW, if you want to talk about tools and potential, Clay Mounce's ceiling is a high as anybody's; the ceiling is the roof.

The ceiling is the roof. L O L. Only a UNCheat grad could be so very eloquent. - Go Furman! Let's get in the big dance.

Boasting about "true" road wins - other than just being pathetic - says more than anything "Hey, no one invited us to play in a pre-season or holiday tournament on a neutral court."

Was this twitter flotsam generated by the same FU group that called Wofford a "cross town rival"?

What esoteric metric comes next? "6th fewest backcourt turnovers among "true" liberal arts colleges"?

Give me a break.

Dream season, exciting team, good kids, rejuvenated community support. Finished third in a competitive SoCon. Best shot in years to win the bid and go dancing. Hopefully the administration is paying attention to the ROI in Men's BB and increases the "I".

What a bizarre thing to be up in arms over . . . the sixth bullet on a list of facts about Furman's record/performance this year, which is an utterly standard thing for programs to tweet out. Yours is an irrational reaction that no other human being would have. The 'fun fact' sort of tweets aren't going anywhere, so you should either get over your 'fun fact' phobia or avert your eyes next time.

Fessor is really uniformed...he doesn’t realize Clemson doesn’t have a road win to compare to Furman’s over Nova...what a tool he continues to be.

Tool? Ha.

Make any money writing?

He's uniformed?
Don't you mean uninformed? He may be uniformed, I did not see him when you did, apparently.
But I do not agree with your statement if you meant he is uninformed.

Not to jinx us, but while I knew Furman had had Mercer's number recently, I had not realized it was 7 in a row.

Mercer is a dangerous team, but for whatever reason Furman is a bad matchup for them.

Do we have an 'official' Furman fan restaurant?

Vegas has FU a 10.5 point favorite. I would not give MU 10.5 points.

This game really worries me. All the pressure is on the Paladins. Zero on Mercer.

[fufanatic]

I’m very nervous.
