We are in 113 for today’s game, assuming it will be the same. 113 and 114 are ideal.

The irony is that UVA had to live for a year when they were upset a few years ago

Dins had to live for a year when Chatty upset them. On TV all the time

Now UVA will have to live for a year with that shot on TV as what can happen at "March Madness"

And Dins will live happily watching that replay!

I’m out of town ob biz in Cali. Watched the game in my room at the Westin in Palo Alto.

When we hit the game winning 3 I think the hotel manager thought there was a brutal slasher murder on the 4th floor. :)

Furman’s block was in section 114. May not be the same Saturday.

Hold your water, Folks. A lot of Furman BB yet to come.

As they used to say in Studio 54: "Gotta Keep On Dancin'!"

I'm happy for the purple and white.

43 years. Seeing this team get so close to the tournament a few times, just to fall short. The sporting world knows Furman's name today, but they aren't a flash in the pan. We've been good for a while. Just never could quite seem to get over the hump.

I'm happy for the players. Those guys bust their butts out there and earned every minute of this. I love that we aren't "transfer U." I love that these guys committed to Furman, developed their game, and stayed committed to this University when every other program seems like they are changing their roster over every season.

I'm happy too for the players that came before. The ones who laid the foundation. It was 10 years ago that Niko Medved was announced as Furman's head coach and you started to see the program turn. A lot of really successful players - Croone, Sibley, Acox, Mounce, Lyons, Hunter, etc. - never got to experience this as a player. It was great to see Jordan Lyons going berserk on the sidelines now as part of the staff.

I'm happy for the fans and alums. Many of have struggled through some lean years of Furman basketball. You saw yesterday the fans showed up in force. We outnumbered UVA fans in the arena.

We've seen this coming. We went from mediocre seasons to good seasons. We started to take down some notable opponents. We touched the top 25. We've looked the class of the conference for a few years now.

It was just a great day to be a Paladin.

Section 115 for Saturday. Mid-court.
