VMI had recently beat Navy & Radford and had taken 12-2 Fordham to OT. This was a good win.
VMI is not good. They started 4 freshmen but still was within striking distance with 6-7 to go. I contribute the slow start to the layoff but not sure that is the reason.

If they'd penetrated our D I would agree with you, but our D was consistent all game. I'm happy.

VMI is terrible! I have a hard time seeing them beat anyone in the conference. No height at all except # 44 who has the worst shooting form I have ever seen by a college player. They are terrible-starting 4 freshmen. Good high school teams would destroy them.

4 minutes into game.

When a team cannot shoot coaching generally won’t help that. We are just not good. I predict we go 12-6 in conference at best. 42 years and counting. It just is not going to happen this year.

And I stand by what many fans say- a very slow start for us this year. I predict it will be year-long.
Get these garbage takes off the forum, please. Pressing panic when the team has MORE wins than we did at the same point last season. It’s asinine.

Most teams will look bad against Furman. Paladins faired much better against VMI than a ton of their opponents have faired this year indeed.

Lost to A10 Davidson by 4
Beat Navy by 8
Beat Radford by 3
Lost to A10 Fordham by 3


Furman smoked them by 23 of course ;)

purplehorse123 could you please just wait 21 more games before you decide this season is hopeless
Absolutely! Just one man’s opinion. Many would prefer I predict we go 18-0 in conference play. Not worth upsetting folks. Maybe I have been watching too much NBA basketball. We just seem terribly inconsistent. Onward and upward.

You don’t have to predict anything. You could, you know, just root for the team instead of saying the season is over because they missed some shots. They WON by 20+ points. Just sit this out and come back next year.

I think the first half we were pretty stagnant on offense. Passed up a lot of good shots. Second half the Paladins played at a much faster pace and started making shots. That is our MO. Doubt we will win many games when MB and JS have under 20 points combined. In the second half when MB was fouled hard going up for a layup why did he not shoot free throws. Should have been a flagrant foul.

Everybody has an opinion and I respect them.
