WCU almost doubled their first half points. Just no excuse for that. They scored 63 in Greenville, 55 in the second half tonight. 😳

Defense took the rest of the night off after halftime. Gonna give up 50 plus this half. Foster 1-12
Without Foster we will lose in Asheville..no offense and poor defense giving them open 3 point shots

refs did a good job takng Foster out of the game tonite. Two quick fouls plus no fouls called. He had his eye almost poked out and mugged taking shots with no calls

Such a poorly refereed game with Foster getting hacked...no calls...Williams looked lost....

Hopefully we won't play them in Asheville ...not a good matchup...reminds me of the way we played vs UNCG
Take it to the bank, its a done deal. FU/WCU in the late game Saturday.

Even with Woffy beating Sammy tonight? FU and WCU are tied at 10-7 and Woffy a game back at 9-8. With likely FU (Mercer) and Woffy (VMI) wins Saturday, unless Western beats Chatt doesn’t Woffy jump the Cats into 5th?

Wofford should have the tiebreaker, since they just beat Samford. I like Wofford in the opening round better

Furman has 10 wins, Western has 10 wins, Wofford has 9 wins.

Furman wins the tiebreak with Western and Wofford. Wofford wins the tiebreak versus western.

Let’s assume that Wofford beats VMI.
4 scenarios can occur.

Furman wins over Mercer and western wins over Chattanooga.
Furman 4 Western 5 Wofford 6

Furman wins over Mercer and Western loses to Chattanooga
Furman 4!Wofford 5!Western 6

Furman loses to Mercer and western beats Chattanooga
Western 4 Furman 5 Walford 6

Furman loses to Mercer and western loses to Chat
Furman 4 Wofford 5 western 6

So if we want to play Wofford on Saturday we need WCU to lose at chat. Furman cannot finish in 6th

We played so poorly tonight hard to feel good about our chances in Asheville....we have one of the best players ever here at Furman but he doesn't get support..could we wind up 7th??
