FAU (1/14/23)

[UNTLifer]

Never understood a call like that against Rubin. Ref right in front of the play doesn’t make a call, but one up high blows his whistle. Maddening.

Owls tied the game, but we responded with a 10-1 run.

This is the Huntsberry we have been waiting to see.  Need another solid scoring threat other than Perry.  Hope he stays hot all game.

Was thinking the same. He's playing with confidence.

Consider what we normally do on TV, in front of big crowds, with championship implications on the line.

Hope you're right, though.

Wrong sport and coach.

We have to be number one in the nation in shot clock violations. 

I hate shot clock violations.  Just shoot something with 5 seconds, instead of 1 second and in panic mode.

[UNT Family Man]

That kind of played by Scott infuriates me. Dunk the ball!

[Salsa_Verde]

When I heard this was a sell out I was intrigued. Upon further review they play in a high school gym, not as impressive. I would hope they’re planning on upgrading? 

[Venson]

Glad Scott hit the triple, but he should have slammed that last basket instead of trying to lay it up.

CUSA refs.

[Matt from A700]

Scott continuing to show more confidence on offense, too, except for that choke on the lay-up.

Need to keep moving the ball, even if we still get shots with less than 10 on the clock. 

[NT80]

Hey, FAU has an actual floor mat/mop!

Not really on TV either.

He and Martinez both.

Yes, they plan to buy a more powerful microwave for the concession stand soon.

Yeah, student involvement. Creating life long fans starts when they’re students. Student involvement in basketball events are next to none (shout out to the Maniacs tho for taking upon themselves and starting a grassroots movement). I’d just like to see the school get creative in engaging the student body, primarily the ones that live on or near campus. 

Vito had a good article on the formation of the Maniacs.  I will see if I can find it, but as I recall it was not a grassroots movement.

That's the best we can do out of a timeout??

Really don't know how FAU got invited into the AAC.  Other than their Florida location they have minor league facilities and lousy attendance.

[Talon90]

We called a timeout for that????

[Coltonw83]

Well, they’re up going into the half. Feel like it could be more but I think most of us would’ve taken this coming into the game. Hitting 3s at an absurd rate

[CMJ]

NT 32 -------- FAU 27

 

Halftime

 

If we can get Perry and/or Ousmane going, I really like our chances.

[Matt from A700]

Luckily student attendance will be fractioned after the break, because the Greeks don't know there are two halves.

[BillySee58]

Good half. We need to switch things up with Perry. They are sitting on his step back 3s so he’s driving, which seems to be what they want him to do. He’s not great at getting to the rim and he isn’t a great creator for others off the bounce. Hope to see us let Jones and Huntsberry create more and run some off-ball actions to spring Perry. We need him doing what he does best, and they aren’t letting him do it when he has the ball in his hands.

[Talon90]

Hope these stats continue....don't want this game to come down to free throws.  3 players with 2 fouls....Ousmane needs to be on the court most of the second half.
