Furman is turning into our family school! Absolutely wonderful for an academically inclined kid looking for a small school environment. Greenville is really cool!

I have never seen a more beautiful campus than Furman University. It's a planned campus as the original university was downtown and they moved to their present location in the 1950's. So they have the benefit of matching architecture. Landscaping is incredible and what a nice touch with the old bell tower from downtown on an island in the middle of the lake. My brother-in-law taught math there for many years as well as a cousin who taught Spanish. For me it was Furman or Wofford but my mother being a strong Methodist won out. Living on campus in grad school at SC turned me into a gamecock.

Back in 2017 I happened to be doing some work in Greenville and was staying there for a few weeks. Ended up being able to watch a day of the SEC tournament. Really nice area and nice stadium.

Ironically I got to see both Miss. State and both SCar play. That was the year Miss. State upset UConn in the FF and then SCar beat them for their first title. Even so ... still glad I got the chance to see them play!

SC dodged a bullet by not having to play UConn. We were however a much improved team after Coates' injury which allowed Aja her space to operate.

The Battle for LA is finally here, Juju & Kiki vs Betts and company. I’m torn with this one, so let the best team win.

Definitely the game of the night! Can anyone figure out how Tennessee benefits more from whoever wins (or loses) this game?

If only there was a way for both of them to lose.

I actually want both teams to win.

Multiple overtimes in which all players foul out with the score tied?
Last player has no one to throw to for the inbounds pass.

Multi screen night:

Texas v KY @ 7 on ESPN2

Vandy vs Miss St @9 on SEC network.

We need KY and Vandy to lose.

 

[Vols2015]

Let’s hope Miami keeps their lead on NC state. Would be a boost to TN ranking going up.

I think both games will be pretty close. Both of those are really good matchups. Two teams in each who play very similarly.

I highly doubt Miami wins that one, they just haven’t been very good this season.

 

[glv98]

Looks like TX is going to be a little too much for KY. They have an eight point lead early in the 3d.

 

[Vols2015]

Love seeing KY be brought to reality. Had an easy first half of SEC play, now reality is sinking in.

 

[Volfan2012]

Texas is destroying Kentucky 55 to 33 on their home court. Awsome. Now Miss st show up.

Kicking my feet and screaming checking the score as I leave TBA. I think Kentucky is good, but they haven't been truly tested in the SEC yet.

 

[glv98]

Texas bigs man. Strack just fouled out w only 1 shot attempt and Key also has 4 fouls. They are just way too slendar for the heft of Oldacre and Jones. Can't believe how good Oldacre is playing, making a huge difference.

 

[lvocd]

Couple of upsets tonight. Unfortunately, #23 Florida State got beat by unranked Louisville, 69-83. And #17 Maryland lost 71-91 to unranked Nebraska. #19 Ga Tech is behind right now to unranked Clemson, too. Behind by 10 with 4 to go.

 

[lvocd]

UNC in a battle, too.

I sure hope this Southern Cal-UCLA game isn't a letdown.

Great history! Thanks!
Cousin’s kiddos went there and now a great niece has them on her list to visit!
My take is it is a well respected degree.

I mean, I could see Texas stringing together 6 wins to end the season if they were to come with all their strengths. When they're all clicking they're tough.

 

[VolBall09]

McDaniel was such an important piece for Maryland she was their spark off the bench and fun to watch. They have struggled some without her. Surprised to see them lose by 20 to Nebraska today.

 

[lvocd]

#12 UNC tied with unranked Va. Tech with 2:30 remaining.

 

[lvocd]

Wow, South Carolina is 21-22 from the free throw line with 13 seconds left. That's a stat I'd love to see for Tennessee.

 

[Vols2015]

Come on Mississippi State! Beat vandy!

I’ve been to Furman a few times, it is a beautiful campus. If you ever want to take it to another level, visit the US Military Academy at West Point, it’s literally breathtaking. I’ve been to Duke, Stanford, Harvard, Yale and Cornell to name some of the most impressive campuses, nothing compares to West Point. You just have to see it to believe.
