(19-14) Wichita St. @ (25-7) Furman (March 20th)(NIT First Round)

I will note that without Rafferty in this game, we probably would have lost by about 20. He will be missed.

Typical loss

We always come up small in the big ones when the pressure is on late in the season, for the last 4 years

Sickening

Tough loss. Played hard. Quite a season. Moving in right direction. Another step in the journey.

I guess you forgot about the two post season wins we had in Niko’s last year?

I don't consider beating USC-Upstate and Campbell in the CIT anything worth mentioning at all

I am speaking more to the tune of the SoCon tourney and now NIT, which have been massive failures for us the last 4 years now

Whatever, now time for the long off-season ahead

Great season, we got outplayed and outcoached. No consistancy, no points off the bench. Clemson should breeze by this team.

A matter of perspective I suppose but from reading comments elsewhere don’t agree we got outcoached.

I’m fine with pointing out where we can do better but not to the point we don’t acknowledge from whence we have come.

I’m done with this board. I don’t need the negativity in my life.

Congrats to Coach Richey, the staff and players on a fine season. I’m proud of all of you. Keep it up!

[fufanatic]

I disagree strongly with your take on Wichita. That’s a really good team who clearly looked like the team that had won 11 of last 14 instead of the team that started I think 0-6 in conference. Plus Marshall is one of the elite coaches in the game. Do I think we could/should have won? Yeah, sure. We were in it and missed some big shots. That hurts. We have to get more consistent and learn to win in March, but we aren’t that far away.

ETSU lost at home tonight as well to a not so great Green Bay team in the CIT
Looks like SoCon not as good as we all thought obviously

You need a new hobby.

You must have watched a different game than I did.

Only 5 months 'til Paladin football.
Thanks Coach Ritchey for a great year. Many memories for sure. Great foundation has been laid.

I say it again and will keep saying it: we need to seek out more WSU-type programs for our OOC schedule every year, even though having to play them at their place, instead of non-D1 home games (at least 1 more WSU-type and at least 1 fewer non-D1 that what this year had).

[purplehorse]

I never bought into us being favored. I think we got a bad draw. I thought it was a great college basketball game and a great atmosphere. I thought WS was a good team. Too much inside height and too many points in the paint. We had a very good season but we need more consistency to take it to the next level. Need all starters to contribute. To get in the NIT was great and even better to be at home. After our 12-0 start we really only beat two very good teams-ETSU and UNCG. Just not enough offensive firepower to beat the best teams. Excited about the future of Furman basketball.

Matt Rafferty was one of the most fun basketball players to watch-a real stud. Wish the best to him and all our seniors.

I wish we could sign Bob Richey for life. An inspiring coach and person.

GO PALADINS!

Yeah good season

But its obvious, if we are going to ever make any real noise in March we gotta get more size and better shooting, we just not there yet, last 3 years have been major disappointments in March

That was a well played and well coached high level game. To say otherwise is ignorant. Wichita will kill Clemson.

Agree 100%. Wichita St., Butler, Creighton, Dayton, Xavier, Buffalo
