Is it reasonable to think adrenaline overrides any argument for exhaustion in the first two rounds? That it doesn't really come into play until round 3 and beyond?

Just a suspicion.  I have zero insight.

No, I agree that usually the exhaustion doesn't really start to show until your 3rd game.  Still, I like that the Bulldogs had to play an OT game.

Poor utsa. You really have to feel bad for them. To comeback and then have what they thought was a last second buzzer beater overturned. Honestly, my heart goes out to….

Huge, IMO. One of 3 teams to beat FAU granted they won't be at home tomorrow. Charlotte only got 1 shot off in that last 19 seconds. I know coaches want to take the last shot down 1 or 2 but I don't get it. Get the shot you want, if you miss and don't get the rebound, you have time to foul and get the ball back. If you make it, play defense.

Why is the Rice / UAB game not showing up on the ESPN + menu?

Rice has Captain Caveman playing the 5. 
UAB up 5 with eight and a half left in the first period.

Semi #1

 

(4) MTSU vs (1) FAU

[UNTLifer]

UAB up 24 with just under seven minutes to play.

On the record now calling an MTSU upset. Not sure why. I'll take the hit if I'm wrong.

FAU up 5-2 at the first media timeout.

The schools going to the AAC have been dominating the CUSA championships this year... Maybe CUSA will fix the game to try to get one of their loyal members to the ship? 👀

The only sport the defectees suck in so far is women's basketball. Three of the four semifinalists will still be in CUSA next year. And I'd rather root for them than UTSA.

MTSU can not shoot!

[emmitt01]

If we are going to win this tournament, we going to have to do the work ourselves.  Middle is outclassed .

FG%: MTSU 26.1%  FAU 61.5%

Difference

[CMJ]

I know people have been saying the winner of our game with UAB wins tomorrow.  FAU is not gonna roll over.

[outoftown]

Looks like MTSUs basketball season is about 20 minutes from its end. Very hard to imagine they come back from this deficit against FAU.

Well, maybe they play in the CBI or somesuch.
