'Nova beating Oklahoma State. Let's go 'Nova.

So, I believe we're then pulling for LSU to beat Nova by 1 in OT in an extremely well-played game. We then go Baton Rouge ("red stick") and beat LSU in a month. Best case scenario.
Well, we're back to rooting for 'Nova, I suppose.
I would discount any wins during the Furman cheating era.dinhead wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 7:16 pmBiggest wins ever:
1. 1974- NCAA tournament win vs #10 South Carolina. Until we win another game in the tournament this will probably stay #1.
2. 1978- 13 point win against #4 North Carolina- In the era before the 3 pointer this was considered a rout.
3. ? - Win over top 10 East Tennessee State and "Mister Jennings" in the Brown Box. I was at this game and the place was rocking with a full student section and a sold out auditorium.
4. 1977- Win over top 20 North Carolina.
5. 2018- Win over defending national champion and #8 Villanova. Since their ranking was prior to their 27 point loss to Michigan this one losses a little of it's luster. Villanova was really more like a #15 team but beating the defending national champions is a pretty big cool factor.
I'm sure there were some great wins in the Selby, Floyd era but that was before my time. I know they played some of the top teams in the country in a sold out Madison Square Garden so Furman certainly must have had some really great wins in the 1950's.
