Thought we defended fairly well overall. But a starter with a goose egg is tough to overcome given our bench.

I thought Anderson played well other than his two misses. Coach actually singled him out. We lose a lot physically when Slawson out. ETSU the tougher team tonight.

Good to see Mounce take the ball to the hoop. We need his scoring.

Crappy start (is that too negative?)

Enjoyed visiting with Bothwell’s parents. Hein and Mounce parents there.

Yes "Crappy" is way too strong.
Should have said something like "understandably 'slow' start, but that is understandable".
Watch it.

Here's a positive... Hien in 6 mins had more offensive rebounds (2) than all other players that played over 30 mins other than Mounce!

Another positive... Mounce had more rebounds than the other 4 starters combined!

Great job Hien and Mounce!
Both Heins offensive rebounds came in the last minute of garbage time as did his 4 points, no kudos, sorry.

Live by the 3. Die by the 3. ETSU 10 for 24. FU 8 for 31. If we shoot 42% from 3 we score 85.

I think we are a better team this year than next year. We will really miss Mounce. Generally he has been an amazing player at Furman. Hunter is an under-appreciated floor general and will also be tremendously missed.

Next year looks scary. But if some guys work hard to improve and we get some luck with recruits, who knows? I really think some guys need to get coached up on their 3 shots. And it would be great if somebody could shoot a midrange jumper.

Regarding the ACC/SEC bluebloods:

Duke - 3-3 and 5-5. Has only won 1 game out of 3 away from home.

UNC 5-3 and 10-5. Has only won 1 out of 4 games away from home.

Kentucky 4-3 and 5-9. Has only won 2 games out of 4 away from home.


UNC will prob be good enough by the end of the season to make the tournament. Duke and Kentucky are out or should be out unless they improve greatly by the end of the season.

So much for 1 and done. They need to change their strategy to 25 games and done. HA HA.

I know its not over yet for them, but I'm hoping it is!

Not that simple. If our 5th starter has an even average game, we win

You are NEVER going to see mid range jumpers in this offense. That’s just not in the design
