Furman is coming off a 25-7 season and was picked to win the Southern Conference (along with UNC Greensboro) as they return 4 starters and their 6th man who averaged double-figure scoring last season.

They are off to a hot 4-0 start with an average margin of victory of 31 points. However, 2 of their opponents have been D2 schools, one has been KenPom #294 USC Upstate, and their toughest game so far has been a 24-point road win at KenPom #199 College of Charleston.

They feature 3 players who made the 11-man Preseason All-Southern Conference team: 6'3 JR guard Mike Bothwell, 6'8 JR forward Noah Gurley, and 6'7 SR forward Clay Mounce.

This will not be an easy game by any means.

I think this is the exact game we need right now after the X loss. It will show the character and fight in this team. Do they come out deflated, start slow, play terrible defense, start jacking up 3's or do they come out pissed about the X loss and punch Furman in the mouth and say hey we aren't losing this game. I for one don't know, myself like the rest of you are still trying to figure this team out. I hope to see JB work on rotations that work and hopefully we see a nice game from Zach Harvey.
 
This is going to be an absolute battle.

63 vs 64 in kenpom

They are shooting 43% from 3 on the year.

You better defend or we will lose. Because offensively we ain’t that good.
 
4 of Furman's 5 starters average at least 4 3-point attempts/game which means we will likely need at least 4 players on the court can sufficiently guard the perimeter at any given time.

Seems like it would make sense for Davenport to see a lot of time at the 4 with Rap/Vogt/Diarra splitting minutes at the 5.
 
we can't play vogt and rap together in this one right? geez.

I'm willing to get just Tari go and live with it. He'll defend and grab boards. Something has to happen at the 4/5 and nobody else seems capable of defending.

If rap and Vogt play together for anything more than a 4 min segment.... it’s a rap

I would like to see some kind of adjustments being made. Don’t think I’m alone there. More Eason maybe, maybe not 30+ minutes for Keith or Vogt. Try different things.
 
I’d like to see Gabe get in the game as well, and Harvey HAS to get more minutes. I actually like Brannen and have faith in him, but his lack of adjustments is worrisome. I truly believe we have the talent to be a good team, we have got to find the combos that work though and I just don’t think he is trying enough different ones.

He literally ditched and changed his entire offensive scheme to fit around Jarron...

It took a lot of beatings in the non conference and to Tulane to switch that approach.

All coaches change over the course of the season.

I’d just like to learn these lessons in wins than losses. I want to see us Skate to wear the puck is going to be not where it is now.
 
Something of note that Brian Snow mentioned.

Furman runs a Princeton offense. Lipscomb ran a Princeton offense, only with worse players than Furman

I was not well pleased with our coverage of lipscomb. And brannen did mention we won’t see it again the rest of the year lol.

I hope we do something different. Because we have film on it now

Brian snow is a xavier shill. Dude loves xavier

Yep.

But that had absolutely nothing to do with what I just said lol

Furman’s coach is a disciple of Lipscomb’s coach. He just pointed that out.

If it’s supposed to imply that brannen has no idea what furman runs, it’s kinda dumb. Whether you think he can coach or not I’m sure he’s watched more furman tape than me, you, everyone on this message board, and Brian snow combined. I’m pretty sure he knows how they play. Brian snow knows what he is doing when he says stuff like that. You think he’s just randomly commenting about the furman team?

It’s not supposed to imply anything at all. You’re on edge and defensive


After the lipscomb game he said they struggled with the Princeton offense and that they won’t see a Princeton offense the rest of the year.

lol but he will 2 games later.

Not on edge at all. You honestly think brannen has no idea what furman runs or how they play? You think Brian snow is randomly commenting on furman style of play? Not defensive, if brannen sucks, I’ll say it.

Holy shit. I’m implying nothing. You are.

I just thought it was funny that he said that.


Brian Snow added no commentary outside of him saying they run a Princeton offense


This wasn’t meant to be an argument starter.
