[UNTBill]

How many guys do we have in foul trouble?

[GMG24]

Anyone know who the ref Td up before half?? That was a weird exchange

6 guys with 2 fouls compared to their 1 guy… I feel like a call was made claiming FAU is out conference best chance to go deep in their tournament… nothing else explains the ineptness we are witnessing here. 

[Andrew]

If they call a flagrant here we know they are paid off…

#3 FAU

[CMJ]

FAU 31 ------- NT 26

 

17:31 to go

 

We'd tied it from the line, but they go in a quick 5-0 spurt.

[greenminer]

Y'all this FAU squad is young.  Not a single senior in their first 5.

[CMJ]

FAU 31 ------- NT 29

 

15:44 to go

 

Not a lot of flow to the game, but I tend to think that favors us as we play grinders and they don't.

Getting under their skin. They won’t hit 70-80 tonight. I think we will get them rushing and win this by double digits here at the end. Unless the refs decided to to try to take control again. 

[CMJ]

NT 38 ------- FAU 33

 

10:52 to go

 

Mean Green on a 9-0 run.

[untbowler]

This team is such a great 2nd half team, just keep wearing them down.

FAU averages 80 pts a game.

[CMJ]

NT 44 ------- FAU 37

 

7:08 to go

 

Our anaconda defense just suffocates teams the longer the game goes on.

Yep.  Just grit, conditioning and will.  If we can ever get consistently better at free throws long term, the anxiety at the ends of a lot of these well contested games will be in the rearview mirror a lot of possessions earlier.  

[Greenrex]

 

Crap refs.

[CMJ]

NT 46 ------- FAU 37

 

3:58 to go

 

The last few minutes are gonna be painfully slow if these fouls keep stacking up.

Well there go the refs… should be a double digit win but we will see. Tough playing 8 on 5. Refs just completely changed the momentum of the game.

48-46 them 56 secs

[NTXDJ]

Okay, this is killing me.  You're missing 3's, so maybe someone try a shot inside the arc? 

[akriesman]

Oh my.  Ouseman out and the entire game has changed.  Owls on an 11-0 run.

Doesn't look good.

[greenminer]

Abou out and Perry limping.  Awful.

[TheColonyEagle]

I really try not to blame Refs. But you can’t deny how much influence they have had on this game. Not sure I’ve ever seen anything like this. 

[tmjerm]

FREE THROWS 

[untbowler]

Just a choke down the stretch, not trying to take it inside then miss FTs when needed.
