Our return trip to play the Owls for the league lead.  Let the first one slip away.

We GAVE them that game.  We were up by 9 with minutes left and blew the lead.

here's hoping Johnny Jones has a comfortable, not-too-talkative Uber ride to the airport and an exit-row window seat for his flight home

I feel like this take really dismisses how valuable Abou's role is in the matchup.

The second he fouled out I smelled big trouble.

Wish this was a driveable game, and we could have a crowd there like we did in Ruston last year. Would love nothing more than to serve some payback in their home gym at their local YMCA.

He'd better, because if we lose he has to swim home, including all the way up the Trinity.

Keys to the game:

* Keep Abou out of foul trouble

* Keep Perry healthy

* Hit our open shots

* Control the pace/flow of the game

* Scott continue to contribute on the offensive end

* Figure out our defensive lapses 

* Score more than them.

This is the one for me. I think if we can do this we should win.

Don't let the 27 FAU fans who attend the game intimidate you.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Arguably the biggest game in C-USA history

[southsideguy]

Hopefully the three extra players FAU  will not be ref the game.  That was the worse crew I have every seen in CUSA and that is saying a lot. The late calls were unbelievable.

[Glory to the Green]

Looks to be sold out. GMG!

I have a feeling that tomorrow is the game we put it all together. Two solid halves and we win by 8+.

Heard we are playing at 1pm because Boca High needs their gym for a game against Kissimmee at 6pm.

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

Hope you're right, though.

All we do is win win win no matter what…

@BigWillie and I will be Chop Shop Sports Garage in Mckinney watching the game if anyone wants to join.

"The facility seats 2,900 and was modernized in 2007 with a $10 million renovation which included a new roof, renovated locker rooms, an upgraded exterior and renovated lobby as well as chair back seating and the installation of a video scoreboard."

It doesn't look that big.
