Realistic shot at NIT?

BLECH!!!

• The 3-point line will be extended by approximately 1 foot, 8 inches to the same distance used by FIBA for international competition (22 feet, 1.75 inches).
• The free throw lane will be widened from 12 feet to 16 feet, consistent with the width used by the NBA.
• The shot clock will reset to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound instead of the full 30 seconds.
• Team fouls will reset at the 10-minute mark of each half for the purpose of determining free throws and one-and-one free throws will be eliminated. Teams will shoot two bonus free throws after the fifth team foul of each 10-minute segment. Additionally, teams will be awarded two bonus free throws after the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining in each half if that foul occurs before the fifth team foul of the segment. In each overtime period, team fouls will reset, and teams will shoot two free throws beginning with the fourth team foul or the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining if that comes before the fourth team foul of the overtime period.

Kinda meh. But we are in. Too bad we can’t host.

Furman's campus sure isn't meh. Some folks thought Marshall was kind of meh 1st round opponent last year also. The Shocks better not take Furman lightly and I don't think they will.

Check out the Furman campus: https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en...oiowE3oECAUQBg

Furman won at Villanova. Enough said.

We will get a great scouting report from Forbes.

Furman is #41 NET. For perspective, that’s 135 spots better than Bradley.

Furman should have been in ahead of St Johns. Did Furman lose any games by FORTY?

I have a family member who works in athletics at Furman and they are jacked! So is he as he wears WSU gear around campus a bit as well. They will play on campus, which is a smaller arena. Beautiful campus and location in general. While there are flights into GSP (Greeville/Spartanburg) you can fly into ATL and drive the 3 1/2 hours. Just avoid high traffic times in ATL. The Paladins will be a formidable opponent.

They averaged 1600 fans a game in 2018 if I read the data right.

Furman appears to be a great 3-point shooting team. Here’s to hoping the extension of the 3-point line helps neutralize that.

Maybe RT finds a groove at the longer distance, and then maybe not.

Now that the Shocks know where they have been planted it's time to bloom angry.

And hit the “Wu Juice”...

[1972Shocker]

Yes, Wu Juice can double as an effective fertilizer among many other uses. It's a super-product.
