Pomeroy has Furman #99 and Loyola #92.

I enjoy following the Usual Suspects and their ratings & indices. The early outlier is Massey, which rates Furman at #77 and Loyola-Chicago at #109 !

I think Massey includes more carryover influence from last year in their ratings right now. They still have Wofford rated #37 and ETSU #119

That was fun. Like I said after the G-W game, this team has the potential to be special.

We played with a lot of confidence. With a little swagger even.

Bothwell is going to get more PT. Looks like he has grown taller.

Great crowd. Students filled up their section plus some.

With half of tonight's games accounted for, Furman jumps 17 places to #82 on KenPom.

Fantastic performance.

Our defense was excellent. Mounce especially. But really all of them. Forced 22 turnovers.

And the crowd and students were fantastic.

Offense clearly more uptempo, was surprised how many layups we got. And we hit some crazy ones.

Mounce was on fire from 3 and we scored almost 90 w basically no contribution from Gurley and Hunter. I thought Gurley played his most disciplined game tonite. Didn’t press, didn’t force.
