Wouldn't Want To Be Furman

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- With seven days to stew in their own juices following the embarrassing L to UT Chattanooga, the basketball Flyers cracked the books and prepared to face the Furman Paladins on Saturday. Those of you who are of a certain age will recall the TV western “Have Gun, Will Travel” featuring Paladin, a mysterious, dressed all in black gun-for-hire. Just to be clear, the guys UD face on Saturday are not named after Richard Boone’s character. Here is why they are called thusly:

In keeping with their French heritage, the Paladins might as well just go ahead and surrender -- this game is not gonna be pretty.

If you are in hoops withdrawal, perhaps a highlight tape of the best Flyer plays from the month of November will help ease your pain:

Recalling better times before the Mocs came to town and ended UD’s home winning streak, here is a “Freeze Frame” look at Vanderbilt’s distinct lack of defense in the SEC school’s home loss vs. Dayton:

UD ranks #29 in the latest ESPN Basketball Power Index:

Not only will a matchup with Northwestern provide a homecoming for native Chicagoans Kendall Pollard, Kyle Davis, Josh Cunningham and Bobby Wehrli, but it will give the Flyers a chance to strut their stuff in front of deluxe 2017 PG Evan Gilyard of Chicago Simeon:

Ever wondered how much control offense and defense have on various stats in a college basketball game? Boy wonder Ken Pomeroy has got ya covered:

I normally agree with Reid Forgrave of Fox Sports but he is dead wrong on his assessment of the new rules changes and their impact on the college game. Scoring and tempo may be up, but overall watchability is way down:

This is how you end a HS basketball game!

Devin Searcy’s HS coach Nate Oats is now the head guy at Buffalo and is facing some tough times off the court. Hang in there, Nate:
