Bullshit. At this stage of the game we should be expecting ton win not “thrilled” just to be invited.affirm wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 10:29 pmWin??cavedweller2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 9:31 pmSweet. We can grab as many wins n the last 60 years or so in Chapel Hill as Climpzun.
We’re thrilled to just get to go and play our once in 40 or so years game against UNC

And we should always be thrilled if our OOC schedule has
any program on it like UNC-CH.
Glad for the players to be confident. Highly doubtful for many Furman fans or college basketball fans nationally to be expecting a Furman win.
I say again, it is a thrill any time we can have them, or Kentucky, or Kansas, or UCLA, or Temple, or Duke, etc., on our schedule.

You must have quite a collection of participation trophies on your shelf.

What y’all are trying to say is we are not Wofford so we should not expect to win as they did. 
Would you also say Furman Men’s Basketball must have quite a collection of SoCon Tournament participation trophies on its shelf for the last 40 years.cavedweller2 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 1:10 pmYou must have quite a collection of participation trophies on your shelf.
Not “a thrill”
Is a tremendous opportunity.
Expect to win or don’t dress out / show up.

I expect this Coach Richey led team to beat UNC, or any team they play. If I didn’t expect a win, I would give up my support of the team.affirm wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 12:36 pmGlad for the players to be confident.

Gardner-Webb beat Kentucky.
UMBC beat Virginia.
Mercer beat Duke.
Coppin State beat South Carolina.
Santa Clara beat North Carolina.
Belmont is 1-0 against North Carolina.
Furman beat North Carolina in 2 consecutive years.
Furman beat Villanova.
Furman beat Loyola-Chicago twice.
Etc.
Unexpected things are possible.
I realize all those above winners (players) expected to win.
Most observers do not and will not expect Furman to win at UNC.
I am glad if the team expects to win, and I will be “more than thrilled” if Furman does win.
Anything is possible.

Anybody know of CofC returning the game we played there last year on short notice? Thought that was supposed to be home and home. Could be a real good game with Pat Kelsey at the helm. That would give Furman 4 decent home games so far. Much better than the usc upstates and Gardner Webbs of years past.
