Breaking down the Furman men’s basketball non-conference slate
No power-conference opponents, but there are still several matchups to keep an eye on
Reigning Southern Conference champion Furman announced its 2026-27 non-conference basketball schedule on March 20, 2026. The Paladins will play a preseason exhibition at Alabama on October 8, followed by three more games against former SoCon rivals Georgia Southern on October 18, College of Charleston on October 25, and Northern Iowa on November 7.
Furman will also host CAA member Elon on November 24, Holy Cross on November 11, and Radford on November 18. The Paladins will close out the road trip at Big South member Radford on November 18. They will also face new UAC member Austin Peay on November 28 and Troy on December 1. The Govs and Paladins were originally slated to play in November, but the game did not occur due to a scheduling conflict.
Furman's game against Troy will mark just the second meeting between the two programs, with the Trojans taking down the Paladins, 64-61, last season.
