Point Spread: 8.50 | -110.00 Paladins (FUR) (Away)
Result: Loss
Furman is coming into this game with a 25-9 record this season and they were 11-7 in the conference. They lost to Wofford in their conference tournament, losing that game 92-85, but they were on fire to end the season as they were beating a lot of good teams in their conference. They have won 6 of their last 7 games and that includes 2 road wins against Wofford and Samford. They have played well on the road recently as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 5 road games, and 1 of those losses was by 3 points. They were also great on the road in their non-conference schedule as they won 4 of their 5 road games with their only loss in that span coming to Kansas. They are going up against a North Texas team that is 24-8 this season and they were 14-4 in their conference. They were playing very well to end the season as they have won 8 of their last 10 games, but now they are coming off of a 66-56 loss against UAB in the AAC Tournament and they have also lost 2 of their last 3 games. They have been very good at home recently and were very good at home during their non-conference schedule, but they also had a very weak schedule at home with opponents from much weaker conferences. The two times they were tested at home in the non-conference, they still won against App State and Oregon State, but both wins were by 4 points or less. North Texas has defended very well this season, but they are not a team that takes a lot of shots and they have not been a great rebounding team either. Furman has the advantage at the rim with their rebounding and they have also been a very good 3 point shooting team this season. Furman has also defended well so they are not going to give up many points with the rate North Texas takes shots at, and their talent beyond the arc will keep them in this game. Furman will cover the spread in this game.
