The 9-8 (4-3) College of Charleston Cougars head to Greensville, SC tonight to face the Furman Paladins 2-15 (1-7). Furman has only beat the College once at Timmons Arena, but our rivalry is one of the oldest in the state, which since joining the SoCon, the Cougars lead the Paladins 18-2. The Cougs need to control the tempo (run with the Cougars) and work hard in the paint tonight: controlling the boards and getting the ball to the big men underneath. Furman shouldn't be taken lightly because their record doesn't reflect their talent and ability.
Recon Report: Alex Opacic is the guy the Cougs need to shut down tonight. Opacic is averaging 10.4 points a game, with 5 rebounds and 1.1 assists. Also, the word on the street is that Furman's freshman Nolte will get his first start tonight, the kid is a natural shooter and a southpaw which makes for an interesting opportunity for the Cougars to show their defensive skills. Finally, I haven't heard much about this kid Dehm but evidently he's a talented, scappy kid for the Paladins.
Game Time: Tonight's game will air on CSS (Channel 42), tip-off is at 5 pm.

I'm looking forward to the game Saturday night. I just got my hand on a ticket, so I'll be there.
Also, check out the little "rivalry" video I put together for Davidson/CofC.
