Furman is located in Greenville, S.C., and plays in the Southern Conference. Richey is entering his eighth season. He led the Paladins to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 33 years in 2023, and they upset No.4 seed Virginia in the first round before losing to No. 5 seed San Diego State.
Furman finished 17-16 last season. It has posted winning records in nine straight seasons and won 22 or more games six times in that span.
Richey’s staff includes another coach with a local connection. Assistant coach Khyle Marshall was a graduate assistant coach at Dayton in the 2019-20 season. Marshall joined Richey’s staff this year after three seasons at South Dakota State.
Furman’s 2024-25 roster includes Centerville graduate Tom House, who transferred there in April after two seasons at Florida State.
