Would like to see teams that went out early in their Conference Tournaments punished for losing...ie bad seeds and far away venues.

That would include Kentucky, Auburn, Arkansas, and Tennessee from the SEC. Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan State from the Big 10. Baylor and Kansas State from the Big 12. And N.C. State and Pitt from the ACC.

Send them all out to Sacramento and put them in the same bracket. They could call it the Losers Brackett. :D

And no more than 6 teams from the Little Big 10. The selection committee needs to be reminded of how bad they showed their ass last year.

Would love to play Virginia but not Baylor. Virginia did not score 80 in a single ACC game all year. Only scored 80 twice all year.

At the 1st half of the ACC tourney right now, Duke has held Virginia to 17.

FWIW Lunardi now has Furman back in Albany against Kansas St. He must not think much of the SoCon. Grand Canyon a #5 seed who just won the WAC in a one bid league gets a 14 seed just like Furman. :shock: I still think we get a 13. 🤞

I am afraid we are stuck with a 14 seed because of the weak SoCon. Those that want the other teams in the SoCon to be weak are not thinking correctly. We need for the SoCon to get back to having better teams, even if it is harder for us to win the championship. A strong conference helps us.

I watched this game. At halftime ESPN showed the picture of Both lying in the confetti at center court after Monday night's win. Cool!

Yes you are probably right. In the NET Furman is ranked one slot ahead of Louisianna 88 to 89. The other 3 projected #13’s are way above Furman. Furman is by far the highest ranked 14 seed. See below:
Furman. 88
Grand Canyon 104
Vermont 109
Kennesaw 114
If Princeton upsets Yale we could move up. Princeton currently 116.

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
