Cutouts of fans look on from the stands, part of Furman Athletics’ efforts to limit attendance at sporting events in order to control the spread of COVID-19. Fans were invited to purchase cutouts through the basketball season to place in the stands during men’s and women’s home games by submitting a picture of themselves, family members, friends or even pets. Proceeds benefitted Furman student-athletes, and fans could pick up their cutouts at the end of the season. Similar cutouts have been offered for spring sports.
Furman’s golf alumni have stepped forward again – as they have for generations – to position current and future Paladin golfers for victory.
The most successful three-year stretch in Furman men’s basketball history has led to a contract extension for Coach Bob Richey.
