In this Player Edition of SoCon Fast Break, Richmond and Darren get the inside story from Furman guard Tom House as the Paladins found their rhythm at the perfect moment to cut down the nets in Asheville. Tom was the ultimate catalyst for the Paladins, dropping 20 points off the bench in a gritty quarterfinal win over Samford and following it up with 13 points in the championship victory against ETSU.

In This Episode:

1. The Mental Reset: How a late-season 19-point loss to Western Carolina served as the "reset" the team needed.
2. Redemption Arc: The motivation of seeing last year’s seniors fall short and the determination to not let that happen again.
3. Strength in Depth: How navigating mid-season injuries to key players like Cooper Bowser and Alex Wilkins eventually built a deeper, more resilient rotation.
4. Frontcourt Dominance: The impact of the Bowser brothers and Cooper’s unstoppable low-post performance in the final.
5. The "House Spot": Why Tom feels most dangerous on the right wing in transition.

Can the Paladins win a game in the NCAA Tournament?
