(22-3) UNCG @ (20-5) Furman Feb. 14th

[furpop16]

This is starting out like the ETSU game ... back & forth with the good guys behind.

Near as I can tell (and admittedly I'm an embarrassing novice at this), TO are the key to UNCG's game. At 3:19 remaining in the 1st we're now tied at 23, and UNCG has 9 TO's and FU has 7.

Go Paladins !!!

This is a frigging "rock-fight" to use Niko's term. Looking forward to some halftime posts by those in attendance. Rafferty getting banged-up inside, but holding tough. FU up 27-25 with 0:15 left in the half.

All quiet among the gang at halftime, so I'm going to open another bottle of Pinot.

Alright. I'm settled back in and we've got 'em right where we want 'em: we only have 7 TO's, they have 11. They're ahead on rebounds, but we expected that. Bottom line at the half: 27-25 good guys.

Go Paladins!!

Alex Hunter w 2 TO's ... ugh .. FU up by 2 35-34 with 14:09 left ...

It's all about the rebounds. Bad guys 31-22. Other than that, we're doing better on TO's, FU 12 to UNCG's 13 ... and FG % we're doing better FU 35.5% to UNCG 34.9%.

11:56 left. Go Paladins !!

We haven't pulled away from UNCG like we did against ETSU ... 45-44 good guys with 8:51 left.

[furpop16]

YES !! A couple of OR's to propel the good guys to 51-46 lead with 5:04 left.

At least Fessor's paying attention, so I'm continuing with this drivel ...

[furpop16]
