The Paladins are dancing again and the energy around Furman University is electric.
Fresh off a Southern Conference championship run, Furman has punched its ticket to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament as a No. 15 seed, sparking celebrations from campus to coast. Timmons Arena filled with fans on Selection Sunday, and that same buzz is now spilling into Greenville and far beyond as alumni and supporters rally behind the team.
Can’t make it to the game on Friday night? You don’t have to watch alone. Alumni FAN Clubs are hosting official watch parties in Greenville and cities across the country, bringing Paladins together to cheer, connect and relive the magic of March. From the Upstate to major metros nationwide, purple pride will be on full display as Furman takes the national stage. And Furman students can see all the action in the Trone Student Center on Friday night.
Whether you’re gathering with fellow alumni downtown or joining a watch party hundreds of miles away, the message is the same: This is what March feels like when the Paladins are in it.
