FURMAN ANNOUNCES 2003-04
MEN'S BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Games against Ohio State and Minnesota highlight Furman University's 2003-04 men's basketball schedule, which was released today by director of athletics Gary Clark.
The Paladins open the campaign on Saturday, Nov. 22 against James Madison in Harrisonburg, Va., and tip off the home season two nights later against Southern Wesleyan.
Furman opens its Southern Conference schedule on Dec. 3 at UNC Greensboro and will host its own Holiday Classic on Dec. 29-30 at Timmons Arena. The Paladins will take on Bethune-Cookman in first round action and either Charleston Southern or David Lipscomb in the consolation/championship round.
The Southern Conference Tournament is scheduled for Mar. 3-6, 2004, at the North Charleston Coliseum for the third consecutive year.
Furman returns two starters off last
year's team, which posted a 14-17 overall record and 8-8 conference mark. The
Paladins are coached by Larry Davis, who is entering his seventh season at the
helm.
