Furman Paladins vs Wofford Terriers Picks and Predictions – Saturday, February 21, 2026
Furman and Wofford meet Saturday night in Spartanburg in a Southern Conference game that the market is treating like a true coin flip. Both sides are priced at the same moneyline, the spread is a flat 0, and the total is sitting at 151.5. That combination tells you this should play like a possession game, not a mismatch. It also means your edge is likely to come from identifying which team is more reliable in late-game execution, especially at the foul line, and which team can generate cleaner looks when the halfcourt possessions tighten.
The game script is interesting because these teams can win in different ways. Furman’s biggest strength is interior efficiency. When the Paladins are getting the ball where they want it, they can score without needing a hot three-point night, and that’s a good trait in a near pick’em setting. Wofford’s advantage is home comfort and perimeter volume. The Terriers have been strong at home, and they’re comfortable stretching the floor with threes, which is one of the fastest ways to create separation in an otherwise even matchup. With a total in the low 150s, pace and foul rate matter, but this is still high enough that a normal offensive game from both teams can get you into the 70s.

Furman Paladins Betting Form
Furman comes in trying to respond after a 78-69 loss to ETSU, and that game gives you a useful snapshot of their floor and ceiling. Even in a loss, the Paladins got a strong scoring night from Alex Wilkins and a double-double from Charles Johnston, which matters because Furman’s offense is built around high-percentage scoring rather than pure volatility. If they’re finishing around the rim and creating easy twos, they can stay stable even when the perimeter shot is average. The issue in the ETSU loss was that they couldn’t stack enough stops and they didn’t shoot well enough overall to flip the momentum.
The season-long efficiency numbers are the main reason Furman is live in any pick’em. Ranking near the top nationally in two-point shooting percentage and carrying a strong effective field goal mark suggests this team can get quality looks and convert them consistently. That’s a repeatable edge in conference games because it doesn’t rely on one hot shooter. The other thing to watch is rebounding. Furman’s rebounding profile gives it a chance to win possessions, and in a flat spread game, a small edge in second chances can decide the finish. If Furman is winning the paint scoring and avoiding foul trouble, it can control tempo and force Wofford to beat them with shot-making rather than free points. Monitor Furman injury report before tip.
Wofford Terriers Betting Form
Wofford comes in off an 82-76 win over VMI, and that result fits their home profile. The Terriers have been reliable in Spartanburg, sitting at 10-3 at home, and they’ve been comfortable playing games in the high 70s when the pace opens up. Kahmare Holmes has been the centerpiece, and when he’s producing efficiently while the secondary options are rebounding and moving the ball, Wofford becomes difficult to defend because it can score in multiple areas. The win over VMI is a good example of that, strong individual production combined with enough supporting work on the glass.
The most important betting lever for Wofford is the perimeter. Making threes at volume gives them a margin-creation mechanism that can win a near pick’em quickly. If Wofford hits early threes, it can force Furman out of its comfort zone and increase the number of possessions where Furman is chasing rather than dictating. Wofford’s free throw edge is also relevant in a close market. When spreads are zero, the final two minutes often matter more than the first 30, and teams that shoot free throws better tend to close better at home. If Wofford can defend without fouling and keep Furman from living at the rim, it has the best chance to win the late-game math. Monitor Wofford injury report before tip.
Furman Paladins vs Wofford Terriers Matchup Breakdown
This matchup is a clean style contrast. Furman wants high-percentage twos, rebounding leverage, and a controlled tempo where it can grind out efficient possessions. Wofford wants spacing and threes, a bit more pace, and the ability to generate scoring runs that force the opponent to respond immediately. In a pick’em market, the swing factor is which team gets the game into its preferred scoring environment early. If Furman is finishing at the rim and controlling boards, it can neutralize Wofford’s home energy by limiting transition chances and taking threes away through fewer possessions.
The total at 151.5 is also sensitive to style. Your pace notes suggest the game could play slower than the number implies, and that supports an under lean if both teams are forced into halfcourt execution. The risk to the under is Wofford’s three-point volume. A few quick makes can add points without needing extra possessions, and that can push a “slow” game into an over anyway. That’s why the side is often cleaner than the total in games like this, because a single three-point shooting stretch can flip the total without changing which team is controlling the overall matchup.
Furman Paladins vs Wofford Terriers Predictions and Best Bets
I lean Wofford 0.0. In a true coin flip, I prefer the home team when it has a clear margin-creation lever, and Wofford’s three-point volume plus free-throw edge fits that. Furman’s interior efficiency is real, but it’s also the type of edge that can keep a game close without guaranteeing a win, because two-point scoring can be matched if the other side is hitting threes. At home, Wofford is more likely to get the scoring runs that decide a one-possession spread.
On the total, I lean under 151.5 because the pace indicators are on the slower side and both teams can get into longer possessions when the game tightens. Still, the under is more fragile because one hot perimeter stretch can break it quickly. For me, the better angle is backing Wofford to win the game at home in a near pick’em setting.
Best Bet: Wofford 0.0 (-110).
NCAAB Picks and Handicappers on ScoresAndStats
Coin-flip conference games are where pricing discipline matters most, because there usually isn’t a huge talent gap, and the outcome often comes down to which team wins the middle eight minutes in each half and who closes better at the line. Furman’s path is clear. It needs to score efficiently inside, control the glass, and keep Wofford from getting comfortable threes. If the Paladins do that, they can absolutely win in Spartanburg, and the game will likely play closer and lower-scoring than the market total suggests. Wofford’s path is also clear and arguably more decisive. If the Terriers are hitting threes at their normal rate and getting a clean whistle at home, they can create the separation that’s hard to claw back in the final five minutes.
