Would like to see Anderson in there..a good shooter and excellent ball handler. Also would like to see Whitt make fewer turnovers as he is good with the ball and quick
Anderson was in street clothes at NC State so assuming he is injured

Agree about Whitt, its easy to se his potential, just wish he would focus on making the simple play instead of trying to force to many things and the turnovers would come down

Something to consider with our style of play, should we maybe turn the speed down a bit on how fast we are trying to play?

Alot of the turnovers against NC State were careless because we were trying to play a little too fast, we might be better suited to slow down our pace a little bit.

Absolutely not.

I’d say no. Our half court offense isn’t looking very good. It seems to be built around 3 point shooting and that hasn’t been very clutch. When we beat people we do a lot of damage running. Unfortunately when we try to do it against real fast people with long arms, we throw the ball away. But that’s ok because we will soon enter the talent-free world of the SoCon. We’ll likely be able to run.

It looked bad last night but I think it may have been because we were just in over our head. Actually it looked like some guys just weren’t all that interested in playing, but hopefully that was my imagination.

I am not saying play slow half court basketball, I am saying don't be in such an absurd rush to inbounds the ball that we are giving away free possessions to the other team, last night we truly were trying to go too fast for no helpful reason at times.

SFA won at La. Tech 80-79 in OT. They shot 53% for the game and 44% from three. The outscored LT 42-12 from 3 and outrebounded LT. How was this game even close. SFA had 28 tiurnovers. I think we are in trouba. They will come to Greenville sky high!

Agreed. Most of the points we get are in transition

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
