-10 Offensive Rebounds, 12 TO to 8 assists, 35% from 3 -- yeah not a winning formula. NIT bound it seems had to at least make the finals.
Right. Plus a five minute stretch late in the game when we loosened up on defense and allowed them to claw back. It’s heartbreaking, but UNCG earned it.

Hopefully some FU fans and students will show up for this game.. Fan turnout was pathetic yesterday. ETSU and Wofford fans filling the joint. Mercer's cheerleaders were louder than FU' fans yesterday - lot of older FU fans in the lower level pricey seats that probably belong in the geriatric ward - wouldn't hurt to stand up and get behind your team.

Son, we live in a world where athletic success comes with bills and those bills have to be paid by people who have discretionary income. Who's going to pay those bills? You, Paladin91? Furman art history majors?

That 'geriatric ward', while grotesque to you, has financed more of what you have the luxury of enjoying than you can possibly fathom. Deep down inside, in places you don't post about on message boards, you want them writing those checks, you need then writing those checks. Rather than being critical, I prefer you say "thank you". Otherwise I suggest you reach into your back pocket, grab your check book, and start paying the bills.

40 years and counting.

Up by 9 and couldn’t hang on. Offensive rebounding was the killer. So frustrating. Some of the guys we needed just didn’t show up today. Very disappointing. UNCG is a veteran team and earned the win. I hope they beat Wofford.

If we aren’t a lock for the NIT I’m going to lose it. Should be a fairly high seed. Like 3-4 range.

Good year. But frustrating to watch that end. Choke - why hack their best FT shooter Alonso in last minute or so after missing the 3 as that killed us w his 2 FTs .. weak mental play
Choke??? Got beat by a talented 27 win team that was a little deeper than us.

Well, I hate the word choke but when you have a lead with 4 mins left and get outscored 12-0 what else do you want to call it? It was a carbon copy of the Samford game when they outscored us 14-2. Say what you want but the injury to MR was huge. He played his butt off but I dont think he made a shot all night with his right hand.

What an ignorant, snot nose thing to say. What are you---late 40's? Don't blink, a-hole, in about a week you'll be 80. I hope you stay as busted as you apparently are.

Actually it's "only" 39. Won't be 40 until next year. 1980-2020

Basketball is a game of runs and they happened to have a nice one late. They are a little deeper than us and it showed .Some of the comments the past couple of days on this board are just nonsensical. This was a historical season played by a really hard working team and staff that got the absolute most out of their talents.

That’s what I meant. No shame losing to uncg. But giving a 10 or 12 point run in last few minutes is kinda weak

I sat in the geriatric ward for two games. And the facts are that the average age was not what it used to be. Much more diverse in age .

Furman fans have never been boisterous and never will be. I’m a lot more concerned about why there weren’t more fans there than the age of the ones who did show up.

Furman fans let this team down by NOT showing up. Very disappointing. Wofford fans are to be commended for the outstanding support they gave. I was impressed.

I agree...but wouldn't surprise me if Richey seeks better coin elsewhere at season's end. Seeing what the team accomplished this year, and seeing the FU crowd turnout in Asheville was just sad. Team deserved better than that.
