Pick
I’m sticking with Furman in this one. The Paladins have simply owned the Citadel over the last few seasons and this year is sort of playing out to that in the standings as Furman’s been the far better team while the Citadel is taking up rent in the basement of the SoCon standings. It’s a hefty number to lay on the road, but Furman’s on another planet right now. Give me the Paladins laying the points.
