(14-2) Furman @ (6-9) VMI Jan. 10th

Another slow start. VMI goes scoreless the first 4 mins and we have one basket. Looks like south of 200 in the stands.

[CharlieFU]

VMI is terrible. We should beat this team by 30.

My wife agrees with you.

[CharlieFU]

19 assists and 7 turnovers. A stat that will make our coach smile during his post game presser.

Good 32 point win

Only 7 turnovers? Seemed more like 17. Actually, it was 11.

[CharlieFU]

We ended up with 11. Still, assist to TO ratio quite good.

Great D by Alex Hunter on Bubba Parham, who had been averaging 21.9ppg coming into the game tonite. He didn’t score until the 6min mark of 2H and finished 1-6 from the field and 6 points.

Helpside defense was outstanding tonight on Parham. He almost never had any decent chances. He got frustrated as the game went along and tried to lean into defenders to force the referees to make a call. It worked a couple of times but he still only scored 6.

FU shot 15-34 from 3 and an outstanding 16-17 from the free throw line.

Yes FT shooting was great. Rafferty has really improved his FT the last 3 games. Also glad to see that Bothwell is apparently a good FT shooter (5 for 5 tonight).

Yes we need to get off to faster starts and shoot better for the entire game.

Would like to see all our guys get hot on a given night. Gurley was off tonight.

Great news on the FT shooting! That's been my biggest concern all year. Hope they can keep it up.

Rafferty is such an unbelievable player. Take last night for example. Wasn't his usual automatic from the field ... only goes 2-7. But, nails 6-7 from the line to get to 10 points, plus tied for team lead with 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, and tied a school record with 7 steals. So finished with a stat line of 10-6-5-7-1. Not too bad. Halfway through the year, he should be SoCon Player of the Year.

Friday Fun Fact: According to all-things-knowable (Wikipedia), there has been only one "quadruple-double" in NCAA D-1 history, recorded by Lester Hudson of UT Martin against NAIA Central Baptist on Nov 13, 2007. Hudson's stat line was 25-12-10-10-1.

Thanks to the video board operator in Timmons for showing bits of the VMI game during timeouts of the women's game, a conference win over UNCG.
