Fantastic! I am glad the game will be played in Timmons Arena.
I guess we have to trust that Jason Donnelly and Bob Richey and others who work for Furman are doing everything they can do to get bigger names and experiences onto our 23-24 (and beyond) Men's Basketball schedule. I guess it is true that some of the head coaches and AD's at various schools, including especially Power 6 schools, are wary of playing Furman at those schools home courts', neutral courts, and definitely not at the Well or at Timmons.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 11:10 pmWell looks like the BIG10 and BIG12 are scared to play FU, I swear these 'big' schools are so pathetic...............

Still, I continue to bemoan the fact that we cannot seem to get games with those Power 6 schools, when I look over the list of some of the opponents in the above links and see the the lists including the likes of
Wofford
Davidson
Colgate
Kennesaw State
Valparaiso
Stetson
Rider
UNCA
Northern Iowa
USC Upstate
Duquesne
Merrimack
Jacksonville
Jacksonville State
North Alabama
Wagner
Stonehill
Stony Brook
Lindenwood
Abilene Christian
Incarnate Word
Nicholls
Northwestern State
Evansville
Eastern Washington
Eastern Illinois
Manhattan
Oral Roberts
Monmouth
Radford
etc.
... but not Furman.
It seems that there still may be hope for Furman for 2023-2024, since there are still some "TBA" spots on several of those Big 10 and Big 12 lists.
In any case, the most important thing is to WIN whatever games we can get, and keep winning.
A quick glance shows that those teams have dozens of open schedule spots still unfilled. Only a couple of them seem to have completed their scheduling.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 11:10 pmWell looks like the BIG10 and BIG12 are scared to play FU, I swear these 'big' schools are so pathetic...............

Whether it's South Carolina and Clemson and Georgetown (geographically the closest to Furman from SEC, ACC, and BIG EAST), or Texas A&M and Boston College and Creighton (geographically the farthest), or the others, I would be glad to see Furman get a regular season game against teams from all 3 of those conferences.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 2:49 pmaffirm wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 9:00 amI guess we have to trust that Jason Donnelly and Bob Richey and others who work for Furman are doing everything they can do to get bigger names and experiences onto our 23-24 (and beyond) Men's Basketball schedule.

Hoping that guy will list his SEC, ACC and BIG EAST findings soon.................
