We were on Miss St in their last game vs Georgia St and mentioned that coach Howland would see a marked improvement in their defense. The Bulldogs are allowing 39.4% on the season so if they are getting even better they will be a top 30 team to go along with an offense that is #36 in efficiency. Furman is small team that will get outrebounded versus this squad as the Paladins are #350 in height with a front line of 6-3, 6-4 & 6-7 vs the Bulldogs (#66 in height) with their front line (6-7, 6-9, 6-11). Furman is 0-6-1 ATS their last 7 games.
