Projection: first four out
Furman's resume is still in its early stages, sitting at two wins with no marquee victories to bolster their profile. While they’ve shown competence in their wins against Belmont and Jacksonville, neither of those teams is likely to make waves in the postseason. With upcoming contests against Kansas and the chance to pad their record against teams like UNC Greensboro and Wofford, they can boost their standing if they can pull off a few upsets or at least dominate lower-ranked opponents. However, the defense is a concern; ranked poorly, it risks exposure in tougher matchups. Overall, they need to capitalize on favorable odds against teams like Charleston Southern and VMI, while also attempting to snag a significant win against a higher-ranked opponent to strengthen their tournament credentials.
