Furman (8-3, 2-0) at Citadel (8-0, 1-0) – 3:00 PM EST (ESPN+)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day is a SoCon matinee between the Furman Paladins and the host Citadel Bulldogs. The Citadel has a perfect record that is padded with 4 non-D1 wins, but their most recent outing was a 92-87 home victory against Chattanooga. Hayden Brown had quite the day with 37 points and 13 rebounds; Brown also shot 7-for-10 from 3-point land and was 10-for-12 from the charity stripe.
This will also be the sixth road game of the year for Furman – combined with wins at Charleston and Chattanooga, they also have respectable losses at Alabama and Winthrop, but the real missed opportunity was a 78-73 loss at Cincinnati back in December. In their last game, Clay Mounce had 27 points and Noah Gurley had 23 points to survive with an 83-80 win against Mercer.
