† 2021 SoCon tournament winner |
The 2020–21 Furman Paladins men's basketball team represented Furman University in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, led by fourth-year head coach Bob Richey. As members of the Southern Conference (SoCon), their home games were played at Timmons Arena and Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.
Previous season
The Paladins finished the 2019–20 season with a 25–7 record, 15–3 in SoCon play, earning them a second-place finish. However, their season was cut short when they lost to Wofford in the quarterfinals of the SoCon tournament. Despite their 25 wins, which made them a strong candidate for postseason play, all postseason tournaments were cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
