The Roanoke Men's Basketball team heads to Greenville, SC today to face Furman University in an Exhibition matchup against the NCAA Division I team. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. held at the Timmons Arena in Greenville.

Series Information

This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams. Furman is the third Division I school that the Maroons have played in the last three years, in an effort for Coach Moir's teams to face a different level of competition before Division III play begins.

Scouting the Paladins

Tonight's game will count as the first regular season contest for the Paladins, while only being an exhibition for the Maroons. Furman recently encountered Belmont Abbey in exhibition play, where the Paladins were victorious 85-73.

Sophomore Charlie Reddick and freshman Dominic Early both came off the bench in the contest to score 21 and 22 points, respectively. Senior Bobby Austin and junior Bryant Irwin finished with 10 and 13 points, respectively. With players coming off the bench scoring high numbers along with the starters, the Maroons are going to have to stay on their toes for the full 40 mintues.
