VMI @ Furman (Dec. 29th 7pm)
I'm not saying DII programs aren't good, but Furman should win 8 to 9 out of 10 vs. any of the aforementioned programs...Furman's depth is better than Division II depth...Starting five is probably good for each of those programs, but Furman is just better.

I took a look at some of VMI's last game. They lost in OT at Fordham. VMI looked about the same as they have in recent years except, of course, without 7'0" Jake Stephens in the middle. They have multiple good shooting smaller guards and forwards and can be dangerous if you let them get open shots or don't defend the drive. Weaker inside on both offense and defense this year as expected. VMI gave both Davidson and Fordham trouble and lost very close games. Fordham finished 12-1 in the pre-conference this year but their record may be a mirage. They played one of the weakest schedules in D1- #342 of 363 according the Pomeroy ratings. They lost tonight to Davidson by 14.
Lunardi still has FU in the tourney but has dropped them all the way down to a 15 seed. That would be the lowest seed for a SoCon team in a long time. Obviously he doesn’t think much of the SoCon.
Have 2 tickets available for tonight’s game. Message me!
We open up SoCon play with the 4 worst teams according to kenpom. All are south of 255.(259-320).Y’all know me as I am always optimistic
but I am skeptical we go 4-0.
but I am skeptical we go 4-0.C'mon, guys, settle down!!
