I think Bleacher Report is just trying to call its shot and predict the next Loyola or VCU. There's a reason that doesn't happen every year, and Magee is no Steph Curry.DungeonRealm wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:07 pmUmmmm, please don't tell Wofford is claiming they will make a run to the final four, please tell me they posted this based off some other source lol............. Who are they quoting???

Woff fans don't post much on their message board, but when they do you kinda gotta wonder about them a bit lol
Latest from the Woff board:
"After watching Duke-UNC last night, I felt we would beat Duke by 15 or more, and probably squeak out a win against UNC."

I hope someone over there pointed out that Wofford DID play UNC this year - at Wofford - and the outcome of that game.DungeonRealm wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 12:03 pmWoff fans don't post much on their message board, but when they do you kinda gotta wonder about them a bit lol

Apparently most any team can beat Duke without Zion. #OneManShow
So we can beat Wofford at our place. 3 seasons consecutively. But in the important games (those that get you a SoCon championship and NCAA bid), Wofford is significantly ahead of Furman. We have won battles but lost wars.tya1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 12:57 amWofford is winless in Timmons against the Paladins the past three years. The Paladin victories have been by progressively larger margins - 1, 9, 24 points. None of the current Paladin players has lost to Wofford here. Why would we be intimidated playing at home?affirm wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 11:02 pm... What I am concerned about is Furman’s team “letting Wofford get into Furman’s head” due to Wofford’s basketball success this year so far and due even to Wofford’s basketball comparative success generally over the entire last 10 years. What do they have now, 4 NCAA tourney seasons in the decade? Time for Furman to start catching up.
Wofford has a good team. They might win. Nobody will be in anybody' s head for past success.

Again, I get that Furman has a better overall W-L record vs all competition. But I still say Wofford has succeeded in the more important games (those leading to Southern Conference championships, NCAA tourney appearances) over the last 10 years. Not bizarre to say that Furman might be intimidated by Wofford. I do recognize that it is possible that we WILL beat Wofford this Saturday AND beat them again in the SoCon tourney. I hope that possibility becomes reality.

He is so right. Think about that stretch and how we got lucky in a couple of games. We have played so much better in the second half of the season. Only two more days. Go Paladins. Beat Woffy.

It seems like FU fans think about Wofford's success over the last 10 years more than the FU players do. Nobody on this team has seen Wofford win the SoCon tournament, and they certainly don't look at them as some sort of powerhouse. Outside of Matt and AB, this team probably hasn't even been paying attention to Furman basketball for the last 5 years let alone 10.
If anything, I think UNCG would have a more compelling argument on the "intimidation factor" than Wofford. But, I think we are just going to have to disagree on this one. Definitely going to be a tough game, and looking forward to watching in person!
Well yeah ... that's sorta the point of being an irrational diehard fan. You pull super hard for your team and pull nearly as hard for your rivals to flop. And when they succeed, it grinds your gears.FUBALL5510 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 5:54 pmIt seems like FU fans think about Wofford's success over the last 10 years more than the FU players do.affirm wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 2:14 pmAgain, I get that Furman has a better overall W-L record vs all competition.

Just saw a single ticket recently posted on Craigslist. It's center court (E2 K-27). Probably cheaper than buying through Stubhub.
Yep, here is the link if anyone wants to contact this person:
