Furman vs Wofford Prediction
I’ll lean toward Furman but you could make a case either way. The Paladins had a rough second half in their home loss to a good East Tennessee State team this week, eventually hitting just 35 percent from the field and 18.2 percent (6-of-33) from outside. Furman is just 1-4 in their last five games, scoring fewer than 70 points in three of those losses. The Paladins need a good showing this weekend.
Back on January 17 in the last meeting between these teams, the Paladins took a tough loss 74-70 at home. Furman managed to shoot a decent 43.9 percent from the field in that one but also gave up 50 percent shooting on the other side. The Paladins added a 44-26 deficit on points in the paint and had 12 turnovers to Wofford’s six. Furman really needs to tighten up for the road rematch but I think they’ve got a good shot.
