Furman at Middle Tennessee State (DNP), December 12, 2010

It was 23 degrees and snowing at gametime in Murfreesboro, TN, but the Paladins (6-2) came out hot in the first half to build a 19-point lead that carried them over the Blue Raiders (4-6) for a 76-61 win. Graham got some good CT (Camera Time) on the CSS television broadcast, but he did not see action in the game.

Furman at UNC-G (DNP), December 6, 2010

The Paladins (5-2, 2-0) broke an 0-9 skid in Greensboro and moved to 2-0 in the Southern Conference for the first time in 20 years thanks to an 81-68 win over the Spartans (0-7, 0-2). When Furman went up by 19 points on a Jordan Miller layup with 6:42 to play, it looked as though the Paladins might reach walk-on time for the first time this season; but a late run to respectability by the Spartans kept scholarship players on the court to the end.
