Winning Sophomores

It has been more than 30 years since a sophomore class has seen more wins in a Furman uniform than Richard Brown, Charlie Reddick (R-Soph), and Graham Rogers.

This year's 15-win campaign following last year's 22 wins (totalling 37 victories) tied the current sophomores with those of 1991-92 (20 in 1990-91, 17 in 1991-92) behind the sophs of the 1979-80 season who totalled 43 wins when Furman tallied 23 victories following a 20-win season in 1978-79.

The Paladins' all-time winningest sophomore class played in 1974-75, the second of back-to-back 22-win seasons under Coach Joe Williams (44 victories).

A winning record next season would make Brown, Reddick, and Rogers Furman's winningest junior class in more than 35 years.

GO PALADINS!

Davidson 73 Furman 54

Asheville, NC. The Paladins (15-16) closed out the 2011-2012 season with a quarterfinal loss to their SoCon nemesis Wildcats (23-7) who have won 30 of the last 32 meetings.

Brothers Charlie and Colin Reddick led Furman in scoring with 10 points each in the last appearance in a Paladin uniform by Bryson Barnes, Brandon Sebirumbi, and Chris Toler. Provided Bobby Austin's medical redshirt is approved by the NCAA, four of tonight's starters and seven of tonight's ten players will return next season. It is still not known whether Graham's roommate Rich Brown will return or transfer.

Graham did not play.

Furman 75 Samford 66

Asheville, NC. The Paladns (15-15) topped the Bulldogs (11-19) to survive a SoCon Tournament first-round game for two consecutive years for the first time in more than a decade.

Senior Bobby Austin and sophomore Charlie Reddick led Furman in scoring with 15 points each, and senior Brandon Sebirumbi added 12 points.

The Paladins will take on SoCon South Division top-seeded Davidson Wildcats at 6 p.m. Saturday.
