Once again, the Paladins are on fire out of the locker room as PJay Smith Jr. is lighting it up with 26 points with still 16 minutes in the game. The Paladins are getting the huge rebounds and are really showing they are an elite team and on the rise. This team has come together fast and may be the surprise team of the SoCon and maybe country this year. Furman is bringing in everyone off the bench to get playing time in this game, with 6 minutes left in the game its 108-41 Furman in command of this game.
