ESPN has moved the odds to Furman by 2
Oddsshark agrees, Furman by 2. VegasInsider has good guys by 2.5. Over/Under 139.5 & 140.5, respectively.

According to FoxSports "East Tennessee State is a perfect 11-0 when it holds an opponent to 69 points or fewer. The Buccaneers are 2-2 when opponents score more than 69."

The odds point to FU scoring a point or two over 70. Close, but all favorable. Go DINS !!

Furman up by Fifteen with exactly 8:00 to go. Sound comfy? No way! These leads have disappeared in a snap. But the guys are playing tough and this is one fun match. Go 'Dins!!!

Great team win by Furman. ETSU wanted to play prison ball and Furman was right there for it.

Paladins take the drivers seat in the SoCon early in conference play.

Make that 11-1.

Great game. Slow start, but once it became clear what ETSU wanted to do on D we took advantage of it. They were extending and overplaying and we got some easy drives and cuts. Also that helped us with rebounding too.

Another classic win in Timmons

Great crowd despite no band and few students. Pre game I learned that it was OLLI night so that may have boosted attendance in the geriatric category.

We beat a tough tall big team tonight. Wasn’t that long ago we would have folded like a cheap suit.
Not now!

Mounce only played 27 minutes and I think his minutes were down at VMI. I think he is nursing a minor injury perhaps. Great team effort on the boards! Lyons with 6. Noah with 12. Tre Clark! 10 points, 7 boards.

On to Chatty!

A good Buc turnout which got vocal only at the beginning of the 2nd half. I still think we have a greater “home-court advantage” in cozy Timmons vs the BSWA.

Great hustle by FU and good rebounding. Balanced scoring. Mounce 0 points in second half. Tre Clark was a difference maker. Lyons hit 4 timely and needed 3’s.

ETSU may whip us up there but today in Greenville SC we were the better team. I think we have split with them the last 5 years.

With a little over 7 minutes in first half we were down 18-14 and it was pretty ugly. We played better after that. Good effort. Good crowd without students. Good win!

Tre Clark played the best game of his career. His defense, strong rebounding and keeping the ball live and his ability to get free for some key dunks made the difference in this game. Great hustle and desire.
