Why do we look like a high school team when faced with a press/trap? This has been my only frustration all season.
We have one PG. And no other really reliable ballhandlers. Bothwell is ok but he's a young and still adjusting, as was evident a few times last night.
Sorry, I can't buy that. I don't know a lot about basketball, but a team with athletes who can accomplish what we've done this year should be plenty competent and able to execute some antidote for that.

Lot more concerned about lack of strength in key positions. I think that will improve during off season. And more consistency.

Uncg press was fairly soft and mostly designed to slow us down rather than create turnovers. I wasn’t particularly concerned with our performance there.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
