For the record, I know Dr. Nido R. Qubein. He is a good man with an awesome American success story. He has lead High Point well. http://www.highpoint.edu/president/CharlieFU wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 9:27 amI do not know the history, other than it started on the academic side, and then they upped their game on athletic side.
I think their recruiting has probably targeted northerners who want a smaller college experience.
They have done well, all the way around.
CONTRAST that with HIgh Point which got a president with a bunch of his own $$$ to spend, built all this country club like atmosphere, targeting northerners as well---just not the same caliber student and the school therefore does not have near the reputation that Elon has.
(8-0) #25 Furman @ Elon Tuesday Dec. 4th
Not questioning his character or integrity. My niece was a student there, and my son visited there. It's just a different place and way of building your brand.gman wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 9:36 amFor the record, I know Dr. Nido R. Qubein. He is a good man with an awesome American success story.

We could easily lose at any point so I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, but it would be so fun to make it to LSU undefeated in a couple of weeks. We would probably be one of only a handful of undefeated teams left and would give us a few more weeks of being in legit national conversations.

I’m just enjoying and savoring this run for what it is. Unprecedented and amazingly gratifying.....
We WILL stub our toe and lose to a team or two or three we “shouldn’t lose to”.....when that happens, no regrets. Just regroup and soldier on.
Nothing will ever change the AP Top 25 for the week of Dec 3, 2018.

We also moved up one spot in the coaches poll to #30 despite 2 unimpressive performances this week.

From NCAA.com on each of the remaining eleven undefeated teams:
FURMAN (8-0). No way were the Paladins supposed to be in this club. Not after playing half of last year’s Final Four on the road. But meet the Flying Wallendas of college basketball. Three of Furman’s eight victories have come in overtime, including at No. 8 Villanova, the highest ranked opponent the Paladins have beaten in 39 years. There was also the winning dunk in the last two seconds at Loyola Chicago.
Did you know . . . there were 45 lead changes in Furman’s three overtime victories.
Beware . . . The trip to LSU on Dec. 21. But then, for Furman and all the others, every game comes with a warning. It’s easy to get kicked out of this club.

Put another way: You take the stairs up and the elevator down.
But the elevator doesn't go back to the ground floor.
One game at a time. Get better over the course of the season. Be peaking in March.
Beat Elon.

Is there going to be a way to stream this game? It is outrageous that Furman at last gets ranked and they won't even stream this game on ESPN+...
Can we watch it using the Elon link? Looks like it’s free access. https://elonphoenix.comPaladinPower wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 11:04 amIs there going to be a way to stream this game? It is outrageous that Furman at last gets ranked and they won't even stream this game on ESPN+...

Here's the link to the stretch-internet portal: https://portal.stretchinternet.com/elon ... Type=video
It says to return 15 minutes prior to game-time. I'm waiting ...
If you have a Roku or other streaming device, search channel CAA and you will find it there.
