Result:
LOSS

Furman is .500 on the season, off a blowout win over VMI, 85-57. This team will continue to get better as the Paladins returned their top eight players, including all five starters from last year's squad. Senior Stephen Croone paced the Paladins with a season-high 22 points the last game, while junior Kris Acox added 15 points, six rebounds and four steals. The Paladins recorded 11 steals and forced 19 turnovers. They outscored the Keydets 36-26 in the paint and totaled 28 points off turnovers. Ten players are averaging over 11 minutes played per contest, led by sparkplug guard Stephen Croone (14.5 points per game) and freshman forward Matt Rafferty (9.7 ppg, 8.1 rebounds rebounds per game). Furman is on an 8-3 spread run and faces a struggling UNC-Greensboro squad (4-10) that has lost five in a row, part of a 2-6 spread run. They come off a loss to a bad Wofford team, 87-76. Their best player, Tevon Saddler, left the program in November and they haven't recovered. The chalk is 8-3 ATS when these conference rivals meet, so grab the far better visitors and play Furman.
