I think ODU is playing like how they were months ago and win the whole thing.

Our side of the bracket does not look to bad. We could very possibly make it to the conference finals. We lucked out with our draw. We avoided the likes of ODU, UTSA, And UTEP who have had our number all year.

Wont matter if we lose to rice... not feeling to confident in the team to make any sort of run. I hope they make me eat crow.

Really hard to beat a team three times in one year, which is what we face with Rice.

Gagree. They look very strong.

Yep. 2011 vs. UALR for example (barf).

[UNT90]

If I would have pushed off today like that UALR guard did to hit the nail in the coffin 3 pointer, I would have been called for 3 fouls.

Worst non-call ever.

[Matt from A700]

With the majority, I don't see anything more than a second round loss and a 15-17 season. If we had at least beaten UTSA, I might be more optimistic. I would love to be proven wrong, but here's to another middle-of-the-road season!

[UNT90]

But, but, but we had a 5 game win streak, gosh darnit! That means EVERYTHING has changed!!

[EAGLE83]

Is the game on TV in Dallas

I have not heard that it will be on TV, but it will be online through the ASN.

[CMJ]

ODU up to last four out on Lunardi's board.

[CMJ]

UTSA up by 1 at the half.

[UNTFan23]

FIU advances on a buzzer beater. First upset of the tournament

10 FIU 57

7 UTSA 54

[THOR]

recap: utsa hit a three to tie with about 3 seconds left...fiu inbounds, gets to halfcourt and banks one in for the win...

[Mean_Green09]

Talk about some horrible FT shooting FIU 50%; UTSA 57.1%. I think there was better FT shooting in the GMG game on Sunday.

I think you are right. There were only 4 free throws and I believe 3 of them magically went in.

Maybe, but that was also one of the few times a player could shoot without being hacked.

Here's a recap that has a video (or at least Vine) of the buzzer beater.

Ridiculous shot, has to be SC Top 10 and I'm not even exaggerating. I think I was better at half court heaves than regular 3-pointers in high school, but how Dennis Mavin had to adjust mid-air to avoid the UTSA defender, amazing. Probably the best highlight in the whole 10-seed's season.

the vine with both shots

um...no they didn't...some stupid intoxicated guy missed both of his...

[CMJ]

Charlotte up 30-29 at half.

[UNTFan23]

Charlotte up 30-29 at half.

Clock operator forgot to wind the clock after the inbound and Charlotte got a "free" three-point shot.
