What to Know

The Furman Paladins have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the VMI Keydets and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 29 of 2020. Furman and VMI will face off in a Southern battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Timmons Arena. The Paladins will be strutting in after a victory while VMI will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Furman took their matchup against the Wofford Terriers this past Saturday by a conclusive 75-50 score.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for VMI as they fell 78-74 to the Chattanooga Mocs this past Saturday.

Furman is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.

The Paladins came up short against the Keydets in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, falling 76-67. Maybe Furman will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
