No. 7 Patriots suit up for final regular season game
If you haven’t seen the best basketball team in Florence, there’s still time. The Francis Marion women’s team plays Armstrong Atlantic State at 5:30 p.m. at Smith University Center. It’s their final home game of the regular season, although there’s a better than average chance they’ll be hosting an NCAA regional a couple of weekends from now.But if you haven’t seen the Patriots play this year, I’d recommend it.
I’m the first to admit that I’m usually turned off by women’s basketball. But the way the Patriots play the game makes it fun. They press, they play fast-paced and they’ve got athletes at every position.
And they’re good at it. They’ve lost once this season and have already wrapped up the Peach Belt Conference regular season title. They moved up to No. 7 this week in the ESPN/USA Today Division II women’s poll and even got one first-place vote.
Even if you don’t necessarily like women’s basketball, chances are you’ll think it’s worth the $5 price of admission ($2 for students) to give the Patriots a chance.
