Furman Betting Analysis : UVA vs Furman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a FedEx worker around the Greenville, South Carolina area, there’s a good chance that you’re picking up a care package to be sent to the NCAA Tournament headquarters in Indianapolis this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furman has been one of the best mid-major programs in the country over the last six years under Bob Richey, but the Paladins really couldn’t ask for a better draw here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furman will make the short trek from South Carolina to Orlando on Thursday to take on Virginia. The Cavaliers are the 4-seed in the South Region, suggesting that they’re somewhere in the neighborhood of a top-16 team in the country, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, at the end of the regular season, KenPom has Virginia ranked 34rd. Bart Torvik has them ranked 32nd. Haslametrics has them ranked 32nd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So not only does Furman get to play within driving distance as a 13-seed, they get to play one of the weakest 4-seeds in recent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Betting Analysis : UVA Could Exit Early. Or Not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tony Bennett’s team has been prone to early exits in recent years. Most fans remember the one-and-only time that a 1-seed lost to a 16-seed as Virginia fell to UMBC in 2018, but the Cavs also dropped a first round shocker to Ohio in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furman was already going to be a popular pick in this matchup, and Virginia losing Ben Vander Plas only threw fuel on the fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6-8 senior was able to create mismatches against opposing defenses because of his ability to shoot the three-pointer and draw out interior defenders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He suffered a broken hand last week and he’s out for the season, leaving Jayden Gardner as one of the few shot makers left on this Virginia squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia vs Furman Expert Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bennett’s pack-line defense is built upon slowing down opposing big men. They held North Carolina’s Armando Bacot to four points in the ACC quarterfinals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furman’s offense is entirely built around the perimeter and not interested in dumping the ball down to the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jalen Slawson and Mike Bothwell are fifth-year starters in Coach Richey’s system. They led the SoCon in offensive efficiency, effective field goal shooting, offensive rebound rate and two-point shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re going to be trendy. They\u2019re going to be popular. But Furman is in a great position to get this win on Thursday afternoon. Grab the points with the Paladins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
