Furman vs Seattle Prediction

I’m going to stay with Furman. The Paladins have been pretty impressive so far and they’re coming off a fairly easy win over a struggling Charleston Southern team. Furman posted their lowest points total of the year in that one (67) and shot just 4-of-14 (28.6 percent) from the line but did get some court time for just about everybody on the roster. The Paladins have hit 75 or more points in five of six games this season.

As for Seattle, they’ve given up some fairly healthy points totals—71 or more in three of five games. The Redhawks have scored 71 or more points in four of five themselves, which bodes well for this matchup. With that in mind, since Furman has gotten off to such a hot start I like them to cover/win here. (So long as the Paladins aren’t looking past this game to their looming road matchup against Kansas on Saturday, that is.)
