 It only flagged up for a second, but looked like they said wofford is the best deed out of the conference since App State (6) in 1976... I think that's what it said. This pre dates me by a while, does this sound right?
Oh so young lol. 1979. Won SoCon only 7 years as a D1 program. I remember it well. Coach Bobby Cremins. Turned things around in 2 years. Bronx to Boone. Lost to Indiana in the first round.
Nope. Lost to LSU on Indiana's floor.

Also to be fair, the field wasn't 68 in those days. So, Wofford's 7 seed is the best the SoCon has done.
I was there .6th seed of 10 teams, 40 in the entire draw.Had we shot the ball at seasons average I think we would have advanced....

Meanwhile, UNCG is a #1 seed in the NIT above NC State and Clemson
Furman is a #3 seed
That's what I do. I gripe and I know things.

 Why would you hold it against their students for upsetting the best #1 team in the country and defending national champs? Our students had a habit of rushing the field and tearing down the goal posts in those days. Should all our opponents hate us for that?
The interactions with our players.

 I hope they lose in the first round the way their student celebrated on the field in 2007 will taint them forever for me.
That's why you root against their basketball team in a national tournament 10 years later? Makes perfect sense

I've not had a positive experience with their fanbase since then to reverse it.

-2010 SoCon tournament wasn't pleasant experience with their fans as we exited the arena either.

Wofford is just Furman with a better color scheme.

According to the chair of the selection committee, they were 1st team left out.

The only thing good about Wawfurd making the tourney is that it's not UNCG or Easy Teasy. Both of them would be worse. One and done is all I'll say.
