A Valentine’s Day gift for the Paladins

When ESPN analyst Jay Bilas chose his list of the 68 best teams in the country on Valentine’s Day, Furman came in just under the wire at No. 68. The former Duke basketball star was impressed with the level of play in the Southern Conference, also naming Wofford (37) and UNC Greensboro (60) among his top teams.

Furman has both of those teams at home over the next nine days, playing UNCG on Feb. 14 (7:30 p.m.) and Wofford on Feb. 23 (4 p.m.).
