Furman
Wednesday, December 9th, 2020
5:00 PM Fifth Third Arena ESPN+ Furman is coming off a 25-7 season and was picked to win the Southern Conference (along with UNC Greensboro) as they return 4 starters and their 6th man who averaged double-figure scoring last season. They are off to a hot 4-0 start with an average margin of victory of 31 points. However, 2 of their opponents have been D2 schools, one has been KenPom #294 USC Upstate, and their toughest game so far has been a 24-point road win at KenPom #199 College of Charleston. They feature 3 players who made the 11-man Preseason All-Southern Conference team: 6'3 JR guard Mike Bothwell, 6'8 JR forward Noah Gurley, and 6'7 SR forward Clay Mounce. This will not be an easy game by any means. |

This is going to be an absolute battle.
63 vs 64 in kenpom They are shooting 43% from 3 on the year. You better defend or we will lose. Because offensively we ain’t that good. |

Team can score... We cannot defend. Not ideal.

4 of Furman's 5 starters average at least 4 3-point attempts/game which means we will likely need at least 4 players on the court can sufficiently guard the perimeter at any given time.
Seems like it would make sense for Davenport to see a lot of time at the 4 with Rap/Vogt/Diarra splitting minutes at the 5. |

we can't play vogt and rap together in this one right? geez.
I'm willing to get just Tari go and live with it. He'll defend and grab boards. Something has to happen at the 4/5 and nobody else seems capable of defending. |

If rap and Vogt play together for anything more than a 4 min segment.... it’s a rap

I’d like to see Gabe get in the game as well, and Harvey HAS to get more minutes. I actually like Brannen and have faith in him, but his lack of adjustments is worrisome. I truly believe we have the talent to be a good team, we have got to find the combos that work though and I just don’t think he is trying enough different ones.
