Falcons Beat Furman
The Basketball team continued to pick up wins, beating a winless Furman team in South Carolina yesterday by nine points. Some observations:
This team beat us last year on our floor. With the shape our program is in, we will take wins everywhere we can get them.
- We jumped to an 18 point lead at halftime, primarily because we shot 63% and they shot 20%. Things evened out in the second half and Furman outscored us, but couldn't come back.
- Our 3 point woes continued (3-11)
- 20 fouls, 12 turnovers.
- Hamblet had 13, with Miller and Knight scoring 12 each.
- We won the rebounding battle 37-32, but gave up 11 offensive boards.
- Otis had 9 points, 2 blocks and 6 boards in 15 minutes. I wonder why he doesn't play more.
- In all, we had 10 blocked shots.
- Coach Orr talked about a key sequence in the first half, where we essentially got 12 straight stops. If you can combine that with some shooting, you are hard to beat.
Falcons are 4-2 so far. We have Oakland Saturday, and team that has also beaten us in recent years. One game at a time, as we build up to the MAC, which will be the tougher portion of our schedule.
