Wofford Terriers vs Furman Paladins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/10/25

The Southern Conference tournament has consistently been one of the better mid-major conference tournaments in college basketball each season, and the same has held true this March. The top half of the bracket in particular has featured a couple of excellent games, including an overtime win from the Furman Paladins over the top-seeded Chattanooga Mocs on Sunday. The Paladins are rounding into form at the perfect time after a regular season in which they dealt with injuries and inconsistent play throughout the campaign. Winners of 6 straight, Furman is finally playing like the top-100 team some thought it could be last fall, and I suspect that will continue in the SoCon Championship game against the Wofford Terriers.

Wofford faced a much easier path than the Paladins to reach the final, but the Terriers were dominant in wins over East Tennessee State and VMI to get to the biggest game of their season. In the regular season meetings between these teams, Wofford knocked off Furman back on January 13, but that was during a tumultuous stretch of the season for the Paladins. Furman was able to win on the road against Wofford less than 2 weeks ago, and the Paladins did it behind their excellent backcourt of PJay Smith Jr. and Nick Anderson. That’s a replicable formula for Bob Richey and company in this title game against a Wofford defense that is 234th in adjusted efficiency and is especially poor at defending the three-point line (342nd per Barttorvik). The Paladins attempt threes at a top-5 rate in the nation and they should be able to generate plenty of good looks against a defense this soft on the perimeter. It’s only a matter of time before the Paladins string together a few stops, and the points should come in abundance from inside and out. I’ll lay the short number with Furman in a spot they’re familiar with.
