Thanks, just saw that. The SoCon deserves more than one team for sure. I'll believe it when I see it. They have to have room for all the "deserving" 15 loss teams from power conferences, LOL. Good luck in the big dance. #wishwewerethere
FYI Lunardi still has FU as next 4 out today.

I think that no more than two will get in from the SoCon. and you could argue that the Spartans are more deserving than us. UNCG made the tourney finals and had an impressive showing on national TV, finished ahead of us in the SoCon standings, and beat us two out of three. I just don't see us getting in and them being left out. In fact, I think the committee will just leave us both out rather than spend time figuring out which one of us goes.

I guess we now sit and watch the power conferences play their tournaments and hope (1) the favorites win their tournament, and (2) bubble teams lose ingloriously.

It helps that we finished by winning 9 of our last 11 games AND we have one of the top mid major players in the country with Matt Rafferty.

I like most don't think the SoCon will get a second team but for arguments sake on the Furman side. Furman has a higher Net ranking, was ranked in the top 25, has better wins, played WC much better than UNCG.

The power conferences are going to get multiple teams in regardless of who wins the tourney, the only thing we don't want is a bottom feeder to come out of nowhere and win one of these. As for the bubble teams in the power conferences losing early, Im not sure that would even matter on their status. Hope it would. For example is the winner of 8-NC State and 9-Clempson in or out? Both prolly in.

I want WC to go as far as possible - very far.
I doubt FU gets in, but if FU surprisingly gets in I want FU to go farther than WC.

It should bother folks that Furman had to pay to beat Villanova on the road...What about that sounds right?

Pay who? There is no way in this world that we paid Villanova to come to their house and play them. Are you saying we paid to be part of that preseason "tourney"??

What I mean is, Furman had to make its opportunity...It wasn’t offered...This was all Coach Richey for getting this game and opportunity.

Absolutely not true. Why do you keep posting this?
