26. AUBURN
42. ALABAMA
56 ETSU
69. UNCG
77. FURMAN
79. CLEMPSON
84. GEORGIA
86. LOYOLA-CHI NOW 14-6
97. UNC
99. S. CAROLINA
114. WINTHROP 9-O since losing to FU
144. WOFFORD
157. UTC
160. WCU
SoCon with 6 teams in the top 160.

Would add our other loss as well @ 139 USF

So we have wins over SoCon leader ETSU, MVC leader Loyola and Big South leader Winthrop

Obviously we hope to win SoCon regular season and/or tourney, but if we don't I think 24 wins would possibly get us into the NIT as an at large

Today's ESPN Bracketology has ETSU up to a #11 seed

That's close to at large territory

This morning's "Busting Brackets" - mid-major power rankings - lists FU at #11:

11. Furman Paladins
2019-20 record: 16-5 (6-2 in SoCon)

In terms of the Southern Conference regular-season title race, Furman hasn’t had a great couple of weeks. They lost to both UNC-Greensboro and Wofford to relinquish their early lead in the standings. Furman took their frustrations out on Samford this week, scoring 101 points with six different guys in double figures. The schedule opens up nicely for the Paladins in the next month so the chance to go on a run and get back in first is there for Furman.

We need to stay in the top 80-85 to get an NIT at-large bid. We may need a win or 2 in the SoCon tourney to get to 24 wins.
