25-9, but only 5th in the regular season of their league.  Made conference final but lost to Wofford (the only game I watched of theirs this year).

 

Win over Tulane.

They cost Stan Van Gundy a lot of money.

They went on a pretty nice run to end the season, including knocking off #1 Chatanooga, & #3 Samford (both also in the NIT field) in conference on their way to a championship game loss.

If we lose this game, Johny Jones has to walk to wherever Furman is

ESPN+ is definitely worth it in March.  😂

One of my friend's daughter went to Furman and he would occasionally wear a Furman "FU" logo shirt.  That's all I got.

A couple years ago, Furman was a 13 seed beating a 4 seed in the NCAA.  Sound familiar?
