UTC @ Furman (Feb. 15)(Championship Push)

[DungeonRealm]

Currently there are only 2 Confereces in the country that boast 3 teams with 20 or more wins, the SoCon and ACC

However the ACC has an extra advantage in having 15 teams to the SoCon's 10 teams

KenPom predicts a 76-66 FU win.

Gonna be tough, I’d take a 10 pt win and smile all the way home.

KenPom currently has Chattanooga as the #1 team in the SoCon for offensive efficiency primarily behind their 3 pt shooting (#1 in SoCon play). On the flip side they are 6th in the SoCon in Def efficiency. To compare, we are 2nd in offense efficiency and 4th in Defense.

Incredibly tough 12 day 4 game stretch starting Saturday. How long has it been since Furman had a chance to win the SoCon on their own without any help from anyone in the last 2 weeks of the season?

You left out “I think MAYBE we can win 1 of them”.

That is excellent, thanks for posting Dungeon. Seems the SoCon is getting more and more respect.

Vegas has Furman favored by 14. Seems like a huge spread against a good team like Chatty.
