vs. Wofford (Jan. 11th)

[Sad Din]

We should stop doing those gimmicky Wofford game promotions like T-shirts. Treat it like any other Socon game which it is. It only motivates Wofford and our team is left with a flat performance.

Totally agree, those are cringe worthy. Hate seeing those.

took those shirts like the spoils of war

Apparently a lot of people lost a lot of money on FU last night. The line went up 2 points from 5.5 to 7.5. A good example of the lack of effort last night: Filewich outrebounded Bowser, Hien and Vanderwal 12-9. Geesh.

I don't think it's time to throw in the towel but getting humiliated by Wofford on our home court is hard to take. A few things have become evident since the OOC schedule has ended.

*OOC appears weaker than we thought. Since SoCon play has started we've been outplayed 3 straight games.
*As a few previous posters have pointed out, other teams have figured out how to beat Furman. Pressure the 2 guards on the perimeter and make someone else beat you.
*Wofford is better than Furman right now. They out-hustled us and were more physical. And shot the ball better.
*Their defense was better. They got wide open shots. Most of our shots looked rushed.
*Filewich got more rebounds (12) than Bowser, Hien, and Vanderwal did combined. They outrebounded us 52-35.
*Our 14-2 record coming into that game was meaningless. Wofford looked like they wanted to whip our ass good and we looked like all we had to do was show up and win. Our effort in the second half was good but it sucked in the first half.
*I really don't know what the answer is but it might be time for Coach R to shake things up some. Hughey gets put in the game after it's out of hand. Maybe he could have handled Filewich better? I also like, Molnar, who played with some hustle and attitude.

I'm not saying they should start but if we play the first 5 minutes the next game as pathetic as this one, then changes need to come quick. I would like to see a rotation of Hughey, Molnar, along with Johnston, Smith, and Anderson. That would give us 3 shooters on the court along with 2 defensive bangers. Molnar can guard a small forward. The downside of that is Hughey easily gets in foul trouble, Johnston lacks some athleticism and can be a liability on defense and Molnar doesn't shoot great. The upside is Johnston can shoot, Molnar can play defense and score inside, and Hughey can rebound, play defense, and occasionally score inside. Hughey used to be a decent 3 point shooter but I don't know what's happed to that.

The bottom line is Hughey and Molnar bring some physicality that we don't seem to have early in the last 3 games. Coach R needs to challenge this team to come out and play with some fire in the belly.

UNBELIEVABLE. I watched Duke (yes, I know it is Duke) hold these guys to FOURTEEN POINTS at halftime. I went to that game... pulling for Duke and watching Wofford SUCK. And before you say "that's Duke"... that was the LOWEST SCORE for any opponent at halftime in the shot clock era in Cameron Indoor... E V E R. Meaning, sure it was Duke but they play Elon and Furman and Army and etc etc EVERY year in OOC. and NO ONE had ever been this bad. NO ONE EVER. in 40 years? I think the shot clock began in 1985? please correct me if I am wrong.

The spread was maybe 25? Duke won by about FIFTY.

More to the point, My relative has been watching our Furman scores and noting a few weeks ago (if it was your thing ) you should start betting against Furman as he saw the pattern building in the SoCon games. I can't argue with him at this point. We don't look good.

Anyway, I don't follow basketball as much.

Legit question - can we win the weekend? Not a 'hot take' just conference scores haven't looked good. What needs to improve?

We don't care about shitty duke dude

Stumpy and moderators always said you can't curse on this board. whether you or I or anyone agrees with that rule is not the point.. that WAS THE RULE. I guess we have gone the way of the SEC ?

You sound like a damn idiot bro........

#1) Don't ever give a shit what a Woffy does or thinks

#2) You say and I quote 'they beat our AZZ - which they always do'.....
I know you barely follow Furman Basketball because you follow Duke lol, so you could be unaware that we own them lately prior to this game but guess you don't know how to do math or even just read the pregame article either....

"Monday's game is the 156th meeting between Wofford and Furman with the Paladins holding a 92-63 series lead. Furman has won five of the last six meetings, including an 82-67 decision at Timmons Arena last season. Furman has won four of the last five encounters versus the Terriers in Greenville, including all three at the Well."

The problem with your argument is logic gets in the way. Isn’t that always the case? Logic and FACTS get in the way of emotion. If Duke is sh):$;Y then we (Furman) are 40 or 50 points WORSE THAN SHI(:):T. Duke beat Wofford by 50 or something. We LOST to Wofford. At least use LOGIC AND FACTS. to insult Duke just makes Furman look HORRIBLE. it’s like saying NDSU football is SH$:T. well then Furman football is 15 points less than SHI:$T

I Know. Don’t you hate how logic and reason just kill emotional arguments. It’s like arguing with a liberal. LOL. They stomp their feet and cross their arms but have no facts. It’s all emotion and BS. FACTS WIN.

So. To prove I adhere to facts even if they undermine me. If FU has beaten Wofford in bball several times recently great !!! Love it. I was really thinking football. That’s been painful the past 2 years. Boo
