This seems like an almost mathematical impossibility, but the Southland Conference has only two teams with a winning record - Incarnate Word and Southeastern Louisiana. UIW lost to Southeastern Louisiana.
So, UIW played only one conference game against a team that finished with a winning record, and they lost that game.
As best I can tell, UIW played only two games against teams with a winning record - SELA and 6-5 Prairie View A&M out of the SWAC.
Furman has played 6 ranked opponents.

Only a 6,000 seat stadium. “Crowds” were from 1,900 to 3,200 for 5 home games so not much support.

They put up video game numbers.
On the one hand, they might be an elite team that hammers every team they play.
On the other hand, their numbers may be a product of just being the most talented team in a bad conference.
It would be kind of cool to see all our Texas folks show up in San Antonio, though. I don't recall the last time we've played in Texas, but it's been a while.

I knew UIW had a 10-1 record but had never looked at the record of the teams they have played until I read this post. It's unbelievable they have only played two teams with a winning record. They ran roughshod over most teams they beat this year, but now, I like Furman's chances of getting their 2d playoff win. I thought the committee was screwing Furman matching them up with Elon (probably should have been GWU), now I think Furman should have had UIW's seed in the playoffs. SOS is no comparison between Furman & UIW, the SoCon took it on the chin from this selection committee (UTC & Mercer, both should have made the playoffs). Good Luck next Saturday, the entire SoCon is pulling for your team!!!!

Oh, I forgot to congratulate the team and Furman fans on today's win. It was a fun game to watch Elon go down. Congratulations!!!

The Southland's always a bit odd to evaluate.
UIW's definitely a very good team. I just always tend to side with teams that are more battle tested.
You can say it has been several months since UIW has played an objectively "good" opponent.

Since they have very little support my first thought is they are good because of transfers. I was correct, I counted 24 transfers

I know very little about IWU except for the fact that they can score points. Their facilities may look less than stellar but they can play ball. I’ll pass judgement after we play them. It’s a business trip not a vacation.

I know their sphincters are all a little tighter after watching our game today.

Surely they will change the start time for the basketball game next Saturday.
