2025-26 Furman Team Stats

2026 Tournament PreviewFurman is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2023 when it knocked off Virginia as a 13 seed. Only one main contributor, Ben VanderWal (7.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg), is back from that squad, but coach Bob Richey's re-tooled roster rallied to win the SoCon tournament as the sixth seed. Freshman point guard Alex Wilkins (17.7 ppg, 4.7 apg) is the top scorer, but the Paladins' strength is down low where 6-11 twin towers Cooper Bowser (14.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 bpg) and Charles Johnston (9.8 ppg, 9.1 rpg) rule the paint. The big-man duo helps Furman rank 14th nationally in two-point shooting at 59.0 percent. The Paladins have some holes, however. Furman doesn't force many turnovers (bottom 20 nationally), shoots 69.8 percent from the line (276th) and has few quality wins -- all three Quad 1/2 games were losses by an average of more than 16 points. Metrics don't suggest upset, but intangibles, mainly an upperclassmen dominated rotation, put it on the table.
