FAU (1/11/20)

[UNTLifer]

FAU comes in sitting at 11-5 overall and 3-0 in conference.

Losses have come to U of Miami (FL) by 14, Alabama by 19, Florida Gulf Coast by 2 in OT, St. Bonaventure by 7 and USF by 2.  Very weak OOC schedule.

Conference wins against NutsaCK by 15, UTEP by 3 and Rice by 4.

We win by 10+ again.

You do have to give FAU credit, as they are the only CUSA team so far* to reach 3-0.  And, 11-5 is nothing to sneeze at.  They just won a weird game at Rice where they were up 55-33 at one point in the second half but then fell down by a point and finally ended up winning the game by 5.  They seem to be a solid defensive team with good guard play and forwards who aren't afraid to stretch the defense and shoot threes.  We will be favored, but this could be a tricky opponent to put away.

 

*(Either Charlotte or ODU will also be 3-0 after they play each other Saturday.)

Owls trying to crawl back, but we're keeping them at arm's length.

Good job responding to every Owl move.

[greenminer]

Things just seem to be going our way, and the wheels are falling off for the Owls.  We're about to go up by 20.

Love the dribble penetration kicking out to the open man.  Draper!

Charl about to take out ODU and become the only remaining unbeaten CUSA team.

We already have two conference wins by 18+. Last year we only had one. Refreshing to see this team pulling away
