Too bad these guys won’t be at the table when decisions are made.
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness never had season tickets.

What do we think Wofford's mentality will be coming into the tournament? Lost 7 in a row and are dangerously close to playing themselves out of any type of postseason tourney (if they would even want to participate in the CIT, CBI, etc.). Do they come out fired up knowing that they've beaten UNC, UNCG and Furman this year, played close games against everyone in league play, and have a fresh shot at the NCAAs? Or do they fold? Believe their talent level alone will get them by Citadel. I just can't envision a scenario where they lose, even if they aren't super interested in being there. Then they get Furman. A rivalry game and a chance to play spoiler might be enough to get them motivated. Believe we have the better team. And we will be rested. If we come out shooting well, we win. If we don't, it will be another nailbiter.
It's Wofford. There mentality coming in will be to win the SoCon. They have the talent to do so.fufanatic wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 2:19 pmWhat do we think Wofford's mentality will be coming into the tournament?

Will point out, they also have the kind of talent that loses 7 straight SoCon games
Guessing the all SoCon teams will be announced sometime today or tomorrow, I would expect to see Lyons on first team and Gurley on second team

About 10 people in that photo. Only 2 of them, both in the background, appear to be even half-way smiling. Where is the joy? Looking at just that picture, one might think we lost the game and were picking up a trophy for 2nd place. There was a lot more joy evident this past Saturday in Timmons Arena.
I do realize those (March 1973) were not the best of times for our nation.
(Not suggesting now is the best of times for our nation. Paraphrasing what Congressman Clyburn said last week, “I am fearful for the future of our nation; our nation is now at a very serious ‘inflection point’.)
All these sites are corect but the big problem is the major conferences control the bids. They are going to limit good mid-major teams as much as possibl. First and foremost they do not want to give up any of the money a mid-major at large bid would take away from them. Second they could lose even more money if any mid-major advances so obviously the fewer good teams they the more money they get to keep. The only way to get more deserving teams is to limit the teams power conferences can get in but of course that will never happen.
Back to Wofford, they will do everything possible includung maximum effort to beat FU Saturday.
