[FU Hoopla]

KenPom still has Furman as the clear SoCon favorite, the other decent SoCon teams are still 40+ spots behind FU

In the NCAA net rankings it’s:
140. UTC
149. Samford
150. Furman
Others are way down the list, next closest is UNCG at 193.

Dont see kenpom. Utc had a nice win last night, they are well coached too. I wish Ken awarded the title... but...NCAA looks about right

[FU Hoopla]

Furman still the favorite no doubt

Samford has zero good wins, ZERO

UTC has no wins any better than what Furman has on resume, if UTC goes and beats UGA on the road then ill be impressed, otherwise nah

[FU Hoopla]

Samford has beaten 3 lower division opponents, 3-6 Alabama A&M, 2-7 Texas Southern and 4-7 Valparaiso.
So please spare me from talking about them right now

[FU Hoopla]

UTC has been decent, but has no big win that jumps off the page, as it turns out right now its looking like both Furman and UTC will finish non-conference 9-4 (if FU beats SF Austin and Anderson and UTC beats Belmont but loses at UGA)
If you did a side by side of what each team has done its basically about even.

Time will tell but I think the next big job coming out of the socon will go to the utc coach.

Not so sure there is a good track record coming out of utc at this point lol

Since Shulman fired in 2013:
Wade moves up to LSU and gets booted for cheating
Mccall goes to Umass and stinks up the joint
Paris not looking so hot at USC

Re: UTC, I’m worried we don’t have an answer for Stephens.

And they have done nothing so far, well except lose to an NAIA team

No way, Belmont by 15, @App St., USC by 19 (who still beat Clemson) and even Winthrop by 15 (who beat Middle Tennessee also) are all just as good as those wins

apaladin you seem way to eager to crown utc champs for doing nothing special yet

FU will win this 2023 crown
