Furman to greet The Citadel with hungry eyes
Alex Williams (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ In the yawning epic known as the Southern Conference men’s basketball season, Furman played the first act against type. The reigning champion and preseason pick is 6-9 and 0-2, the latter being the SoCon schedule to date. The injury-plagued Paladins need a victory in the worst way at Timmons Arena …

Kate Johnson (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie is one of a host of women who accompany deceased souls to Valhalla, which is almost near Seneca. Its original meaning is “chooser of the slain.” Converse (5-7) got it backwards on Sunday women’s basketball at Timmons Arena. Furman (10-6) routed the Valkyries, 93-40, in …

Mainly thinking again about what might’ve been
By MONTE DUTTON (Monte Dutton photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ I would have liked to be in Frisco. I’ve got a lot of friends in the area, and at least one who would have let me sleep on his couch. All I would have needed was some gas and spending money. I could’ve not paid my taxes for …

Paladins ransacked at foot of Lookout Mountain
J.P. Pegues (Monte Dutton photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Furman got run out of the Roundhouse on Saturday night, and the Roundhouse is a fairly large place.

Paladins stay the course and hope for health
By MONTE DUTTON (Furman photo) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ On Thursday night, I watched the replay of the Furman-UNCG game. I only saw the last few minutes live because I was at another game. When I got home, my reaction was: What? Now three starters are out? Foster, Pegues and Williams? Jumpin’ Jehosaphat! (Not the real words, but …

Depleted Paladins fall at UNCG, 79-68
Carter Whitt (Furman photo) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ GREENSBORO, N.C. – Not to be outdone after falling to Anderson with its two leading scorers sidelined, Furman played its Southern Conference debut with the top three unavailable for duty on Wednesday night.

Paladins aim for surge in SoCon
By MONTE DUTTON Ben VanderWal (Furman photo) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ It’s been a while now since Furman was picked by media and coaches to defend successfully the Southern Conference men’s basketball championship it won last season.
