I have Furman plus 10 points in a bet with a Woffy fan from my church. $10 on the line.

GO DINS!!!

So he bet you that Woff wins by 10 or more? Did he not see the game in Spartanburg earlier this year lol

No, I’m betting FU wins or keeps it within 10. And yes, I saw the Wofford game live and in person.

These companies need to be put out of business.
Disagree! There is a market out there and they serve that market. Including me on occasion.

Want to continue pointing this out because he deserves it ... Matt Rafferty leads the team in minutes played, FG%, FT%, rebounds per game, points per game, assists and steals, and is one block away from tying for the lead in that category. I would love to see a list of college basketball players in history that have led their team in four of the of the five major categories - points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks - much less all five, which he could very easily do by the time the year ends.

In SoCon-only games, he's 5th in points per game, 3rd in rebounds per game, 1st in FG%, 4th in assists per game, 6th in FT%, 2nd in steals per game, 13th in blocked shots per game, 2nd in assist/turnover ratio, 7th in offensive rebounds per game, 3rd in defensive rebounds per game and 8th in minutes played per game.

He deserves SoCon Player of the Year honors from both the coaches and media.

Charlie re-read my question lol

So I was correct in saying he bet you Wofford wins by 10 or more as that is the only way he can win the bet

So with this game being a sellout (2,500), attendance for this year will total 28,817 for 15 games
That's an average of 1,921 per game for the season, and considering the first 3 home games of the season were around 1,100 each, that's an average of around 2,125 for the final 12 home games
Nice increase!

Oddly ESPN still lists Timmons capacity at 3,500. Last years WC game attendance was 2,552 so ESPN shows it was 73% of capacity.

ESPN shows the same thing for our (2,500) sellout vs. ETSU this year

ESPN probably only updates those things when a school reaches out to tell them otherwise

Without a doubt, he is the best player

I am sure the majority of coaches in the SoCon would choose Rafferty to build their program around if they could only choose one player from the current SoCon

The facts are that that Wofford is a very good team. They have had a great year. They have won a number of close games with clutch performances.

All that being said, Furman has also had a great year. The game is at home. And I think we are peaking at the right time .

Prediction : Furman will be victorious!!
