vs. UTC (Jan. 18th)

[apaladin]

Their bigs outplayed our bigs, especially the last 7 minutes of the game. What the heck did Tyrese Hughey do to get in Coach R's doghouse? Is he in Coach R's doghouse? He is a senior who got plenty of playing time the last 3 years and now he is nogood? Bowser and Hien had their hands full and couldn't get a rebound if their life depended on it in the second half and Johnston barely played (knee?). All I'm saying is we could have used another big who can rebound and play defense.

Maybe the matchups were not right for that. I don't know.

Coach really bothered by the poor free throw shooting. Remember we almost blew the ET game because we couldn’t make free throws. Like you said they just dominated the boards in the 2nd half. I have to take some of the blame since I pointed out to a friend attending his first gane that NA had only missed one or two free throws all year and he misses his first 2 and 3 of 4. I should know better.

It seems we have gotten worse. I have never seen so many easy drives to the basket for UTC. On the other hand we struggle to score.

Yes someone’s hands can get better. Hien’s hands are much better this year than before IMHO.

is the team so bad that they can't make foul shots???looks like another off year for Dins

15-4 as it stands now is not an off year..........

If we would have won it would have been the first time Bob Richey has ever been 16-3..................

SoCon has been a struggle so far yes, hopefully we start playing better soon.....................

Affirm posted on Jan 5 that 22 wins would be a good pre-tournament record for Furman.
Now to get to 22, we have to win 7 of our remaining 12 SoCon regular season games of which there are 6 home & 6 away.

20 wins iffy, 22 wins highly unlikely.

Wow, things have really changed in our outlook since January 4th, only 15 days ago.

Weird game. We almost got away with no inside game but couldn't hit free throws and broke down defensively several times giving them snowbird layups

Free throw were the difference. UTC 25/28. Furman 17/28
