Over the last 3+ seasons....since the start of the ‘15-‘16 campaign....
Furman overall 87-43 (SoCon 49-20)
Wofford overall 75-51 (SoCon 47-22)
I don’t get why some think we should be intimidated. Bizarre.
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.
"Comparisons are the thief of joy"
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!
