But let’s go FAU!

Impressive game.  Man this conference will be a real challenge.

Memphis won the AAC tourney over Houston as well. If we can succeed in the new AAC we will start getting real respect in basketball.

FAU looking like us with the jacking of threes only they aren’t waiting until the last few seconds in the shot clock. This game seems to be pretty even. Two good teams. 

[UNTLifer]

FAU is a good ball club that we should have beat twice. They are also extremely young with a very good coach so they will be good for a while. 

[UNTLifer]

FAU advances with a one point win.

Go Owls, great game!

[UNT Family Man]

Committee continues to get CUSA wrong. 8 of the last 9 I believe in the first round and this was the highest seed. 

[MeanGreen22]

CUSA was such a great conference year that got zero respect. FAU with a golden opportunity to get to the Sweet 16. Congrats to those kids. 

[TIgreen01]

That was a nail biter.  Fortunate for FAU Kendrick Davis gets hurt and doesn’t really play down the stretch.  Don’t think they win without that.

[BleedingGreen]

Agree with the kudos to a classy FAU team. When Boyd said about his coach “I love this man” and cried , that says it all .  Great job Coach May ! 

[MeanGreenGlory]

Great game for FAU

That's some great sportsmanship Anfernee, great sportsmanship.

I don't wanna count the chickens, but FAU has an amazing chance to get to the Sweet 16.

Yeah, I don't predict another upset by FDU. FAU has a high chance of making the Sweet 16. Too bad all that tourney money will be left for the future CUSA schools. 

[L Ron Studdard]

First lines have FAU as a -13.5 favorite. Comparatively, Mizzou is only -5.5 against (15) Princeton.

We got a good glimpse of how classy Memphis is...coach throwing water bottle and player fight on the sideline.  Of course, their recent history shows  that the program is capable of anything.

Memphis has not been the same since Johnny Jones was not hired after his one year as their Coach and he subsequently brought his game to good ole North Texas. 

When we play them Mac needs to break out the old win one for The Gipper speech and substitute "Win one for Johnny".  Perhaps even make a few handmade signs for the occasion.

There really aren't many rules to break anymore, but I always felt Memphis was a bit of a shady program even prior to Calipari going there.  I can't say I root for them very often.  I mean when they play a Kentucky sure, but otherwise not usually.

I thought that too, but then I remembered the deep runs Houston has made/probably will make that will stay with the AAC.

The carpet has been laid out in front of them. The dream s16 run is getting past the first round, and then the 16 seed waiting for you in the R32

Whoo-Whee I liked watching FAU make butter out of them Tigers. I think I need some flapjacks after that game.

Oh man, that throw is just embarrassing on top of the poor sportsmanship. Always disliked that program.
