    What to Know

    Furman will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They and the Samford Bulldogs will face off in a Southern battle at 6:00 p.m. ET at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The Paladins are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they’ve averaged 77 points per game this season.

    Last Saturday, Furman was able to grind out a solid victory over Mercer, taking the game 79-74.

    Meanwhile, Samford strolled past Wofford with points to spare on Saturday, taking the game 77-61. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Bulldogs.

    Furman’s win bumped their record up to 16-5. As for Samford, they are on a roll lately: they’ve won eight of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 17-4 record this season.

    Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Furman hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 77 points per game. However, it’s not like Samford struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 84.4. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

    While fans of Furman and Samford were happy after their last outing, their bettors probably weren’t as neither team covered. Looking forward, Samford is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. This contest will be their tenth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 5-4 against the spread).

    Odds

    Samford is a slight 1-point favorite against Furman, according to the latest college basketball odds.

    The line on this game has moved a bit since it opened, as it started out with the Paladins as a 1.5-point favorite.

    The over/under is 150.5 points.

    Samford vs. Furman Pick, NCAAB Preview

    I have a soft spot for the SoCon, as the depth is fantastic. It’s a league driven by skill, with the highest 3-point rate among all 32 conferences, just shy of 46%. If you like shooters, this is your jam.

    But 3-point variance can make or break you in the SoCon.

    Furman has hit a rough patch, shooting just 32% from deep during league play, while opponents have knocked down 37%. That has set the Paladins back to a 4-4 league start. Their VMI loss was tough to swallow, and they barely scraped by Mercer on the road in their last game.

    However, their poor shooting splits have made them slightly undervalued, and I think this is a circle-the-wagon spot against the class of the SoCon.

    Furman likely had this game circled after losing the SoCon Tournament semifinal duel to Samford last year. The ‘Dins did manage to upset the Bulldogs at home last January, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a repeat performance, especially in a max-effort spot.

    Samford is overdue for a tough loss after a 7-1 start to league play. Recent wins over Chattanooga and Wofford were solid, but their road performances haven’t blown me away. They barely squeaked by Mercer, and if Chattanooga hadn’t shot a terrible 19% from 3, who knows how that would’ve ended.

    Samford has struggled on the road, boasting a 3-6 ATS record this season.

    From a schematic perspective, I’m shocked that Furman is getting unlucky with opposing 3-point shooting variance, considering the Paladins are an elite catch-and-shoot denial defense. That’s critical against Samford’s five-out spread offense, which can look uncomfortable when those opportunities are taken away.

    I’m concerned about Furman’s transition defense, which can be vulnerable and will be vital against Samford’s up-tempo attack.

    However, the best way to avoid defending in transition is to avoid turning the ball over against Samford’s aggressive trapping-zone-press defense.

    Furman has been a solid ball-handling team, especially with point guard PJay Smith Jr. playing at an all-conference level. The Paladins are an above-average zone (1.02 PPP, 65th percentile, per Synergy) and press (.93 PPP, 63rd percentile, per Synergy) offense.

    Like most Bob Richey-led teams, the Paladins are an elite secondary-motion offense. They’re excellent with their spacing, shooting, passing and off-ball cutting.

    Bucky McMillan’s press defense is vulnerable to offenses that can cut behind it, and his zone coverage is susceptible to offenses that can shoot over it. Furman can do both.

    Ultimately, the Bulldogs can look rather ugly when they’re not hitting a million 3s off a million turnovers. I’m banking on Richey drawing up a great game plan to exploit those vulnerabilities, and I’m looking to back the potentially undervalued ‘Dins as home ‘dogs.

    The upcoming matchup between Samford and Furman in Wednesday’s NCAAB action is sure to be an exciting one. Both teams have been playing well this season and will be looking to come out on top in this important conference game.

    Samford comes into this game with a record of 11-8, while Furman is sitting at 12-5. Both teams have shown they have the ability to score points in bunches and play solid defense.

    In terms of odds, Furman is currently favored to win this game by a slim margin. However, with the way Samford has been playing recently, this game could easily go either way.

    In terms of a prediction, I believe this game will come down to the wire and be a close contest. Both teams have the talent to pull out a win, but I ultimately see Furman coming out on top in a close game.

    My pick for this game is Furman to win by a narrow margin. It should be a thrilling game to watch and bet on, so be sure to tune in and enjoy the action. Good luck to both teams!

    What to Know

    We’ve got another exciting Southern matchup on schedule as the Samford Bulldogs and the ETSU Buccaneers are set to tip at 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Pete Hanna Center. The Bulldogs will be looking to keep their 27-game home win streak dating back to last season alive.

    Samford will face ETSU after failing to hit the over/under the oddsmakers set for them on Wednesday which, to be fair, was an imposing 165 points. Samford dodged a bullet and finished off Mercer 75-74.

    Meanwhile, ETSU didn’t have quite enough to beat Furman on Wednesday and fell 73-70. The Buccaneers have struggled against the Paladins recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.

    ETSU struggled to work together and finished the game with only five assists. That’s the fewest assists they’ve posted since back in February of 2024.

    Samford has been performing incredibly well recently as they’ve won 11 of their last 12 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. As for ETSU, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-8.

    Keep an eye on the arc in Saturday’s game: Samford has made nailing deep shots look easy this year this season, having averaged 11.6 threes per game. However, it’s not like ETSU struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 9. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

    Looking ahead, Samford is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 5.5 points. This contest will be their seventh straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 3-3 against the spread).

    Odds

    Samford is a solid 5.5-point favorite against ETSU, according to the latest college basketball odds.

    The oddsmakers were right in line with the betting community on this one, as the game opened as a 5.5-point spread, and stayed right there.

    The over/under is 155 points.
