In their quarterfinal win over Wofford, Justin Neely was a force with 22 points and 24 rebounds. He completely took over the paint and pushed them past Wofford. He is typically good for 18 and 12 on any given night. Will Furman have an answer?
Furman is 20-12 overall, 10-8 in the SoCon, and the 6th seed in the tournament. They are very used to deep SoCon runs, and this year is no different.
In their quarterfinal win over Samford, it was their bench that won them the game. Tom House came off the pine for a team-high 20 points while Star Alex Wilkins added 19. Wilkins is the man to watch; he averages 17 points and 5 assists a night. Can a team effort land them in the SoCon final?
UNC Greensboro vs Furman will be an intense one. Both teams are powerhouses historically in the conference, and are coming off upset wins. They split the match up in the regular season. With that said, we like the basketball Furman is playing. UNCG defense can be inconsistent, and Furman's balanced attack will take advantage of it. Our pick is Furman ATS (-7.5)
