ESPN gives FU a 72% chance of winning.

it was 72.5% vs woofy

That’s why the shock face.

Wofford's leading scorer Tripp only played 5 minutes and scored 2 points against UTC. I guess he was injured. Any word on how bad?

Chattanooga hit over 48% of their three point shots against Wofford. They thrive on perimeter shooting more than anyone else in the conference. Eight different players made threes for them. They hit sixteen from long range. Eleven of those makes came from three players - their starting guards Huff and Bonham and forward Bash Wieland. The defensive challenge is obvious. We defended the perimeter very well early in the season. I hope we can get that going again.

UTC is fourth in the league in 3 point attempts. They average 29 attemps per game. FU averages 30. They had 33 attempts against WC but they were down 20 at one point. They shot 13% above their average against WC. They shoot 35.7% from three, FU shoots 34.5%. The two teams are very similar.

Its a very different story if looking at conf only stats. UTC is at 46% 3 vs Dins a 29%. If anytthing Dins have a little advantage on the defensive end.

Good pont, obviously the Paladins shot the 3 much better in 2024 than 2025. Now teams are concentrating on shuttng down/limitng our only 2 shooters. Example: Wednesday night pjay and nick only got off 16 shots between them and only 8 three point attempts, should be twice that.

FU hoops this Saturday is trying to go 16-3 for the first time in the Bob Richey ERA................

[apaladin]

FU hoops is averaging 2,840 per home game downtown at Bon Secours Wellness Arena this year:

4,017 vs. Auburn
1,517 vs. Columbia International
2,007 vs. Jacksonville
2,867 vs. Tulane
3,227 vs. Princeton
2,374 vs. SC State
4,367 vs. Wofford
2,347 vs. ETSU

With FU sitting at 15-3 and it being a Saturday tip, plus its a good opponent in UTC and it being a doubleheader with the women's game vs. UNCG we should hopefully pull in a really good crowd tomorrow...........

Not much of a bump from the girls, anyone that attends the girls game more than likely attends the men’s game anyeay. Still hoping for a good crowd.

Nothing like getting there at the last minute!

Nothing like getting there at the last minute!

Remember a home game vs Davy back in the day. Davy had a small crowd and then, just before tip off, what seemed like a couple hundred davy students march in and made a big spectacal. It was one crazy but effective entrance

still remember it like yesterday (pretty good for a person that canat remember yesterday) wait... is that a beatlessong?
