Furman vs Belmont Prediction
I’ll stay with Furman. The Paladins are looking good so far with four wins in their first four games. The latest came by 13 versus Holy Cross in a road matchup. Furman shot 47 percent from the field with a 45-34 rebounding advantage and just 38 percent shooting allowed on defense. The Paladins have been excellent on the scoreboard this season; they’ve hit 79 or more points in all four games.
As for Belmont, they’ve got two wins in their three games so far, but two came against relatively soft competition in Southern Indiana and Centre. In their latest outing against Lipscomb, the Bruins took a 13-point loss. Belmont shot 45 percent from the field with a 37-30 rebounding edge in that one, but also gave up 55 percent shooting on defense and had 13 turnovers. The Bruins are scoring pretty well themselves this season with 72 or more points in all three games. This one’s looking like a pretty high-scoring affair, and I like Furman to power out the cover in shootout fashion. If nothing else it’ll be entertaining to watch.
