"Friday's nationally televised game will mark the 143rd all-time meeting between Furman and Wofford with the Paladins holding an 86-56 series lead."

That game should draw one of the largest home crowds in FU basketball history

Anyone know the top 5 largest crowds?

We had a game or two back in the late 60's and 70's with sellouts at Memorial Auditorium listed at slightly over 6,000 when we played Clemson or South Carolina. Some other sellouts in the Auditorium, too. The DePaul game in 1982? was another. The attendance max varied depending on how the seating was set up and what the fire marshall allowed.

I think the attendance was over 10,000 for the semi-finals of the SoCon tourney in 2000 when we played App. State in our game and CofC played Wofford in the other game. I don't know that we can count that since there were 2 games.

The attendance was around 14,000 in the first college game played in the "Well" or" BiLo Center" (as it was then) when we played Clemson. Technically, that might have listed a Clemson home game.

Besides our Friday game there are a couple of very interesting games Saturday night. ETSU visits WCU and UTC Visits UNCG.

Very interesting matchups, indeed. I think UNCG's athleticism at guard and shot blocking in the middle will be a challenge for Chattanooga.

That was one of the things I was trying to remember as well, (was that Clemson game considered our home game or theirs?)
If we drew 4,646 for UNCG its certainly possible to see us getting 6k or 7k for the Wofford game if we continue to have a great season.

I would hazard to guess that there were many a crowd at the Brown Box during the 70's that would have overflowed Timmons as currently configured. Saw it several times at standing room only pandemonium. South Carolina 1970, DePaul, Davidson games in general, Pickens College. Texas A&M came into the Poinsettia Classic with a 7' tall center one year so that brought out people who went to that more to see the tall guy than to watch basketball.

Woffy is doing a whiteout tomorrow, make sure to wear your purple folks

To tell you the truth i don't remember many games at the brown box that wouldn't overflow Timmons but I could be delusional.

"Friday's nationally televised game will mark the 143rd all-time meeting between Furman and Wofford with the Paladins holding an 86-56 series lead."

Thats a little misleading since a lot of those h=games were when WC was NAIA and D2. i would think WC is ahead since they join D1. They have owned us the last 10 years. The laat 14 seasons we are 9-20 aginst them.

Huge game tonight. Very excited to watch it on national TV for a change. When's the last time we had a national TV game? I guess the SoCon finals against Wofford in 2015?

The game last year against Villanova was nationally televised on FS2. It looks like ESPNU is televising several low to mid-major games this week, including Charleston Southern at Campbell. Good for ESPN for doing this.

I am going to give the 3. I think the only way Wofford makes it close is if they shoot lites out from 3. We will dominate them on the boards and inside in general. I look for Gurley to have a big game as well as Bothwell. If Jordan Lyons is hot, we blow them out.
