CUSA Basketball Tournament (non NT Games Thread)

[outoftown]

welll... what do I know. Looks like FAU wants to turn this back into a match. Lead back down to 6

[CMJ]

Blue Raiders starting to impose their will.  This might end up being a good game after all.

[UNTLifer]

39-35 FAU at the first media timeout.

[outoftown]

wow refs teeing up an injured MT bench player for something he said. I feel they could have done that without the technical

[CMJ]

MTSU hanging around - down eight at the under 12.

[UNTLifer]

52-44, FAU with 10 minutes left.

[CMJ]

MTSU has it down to five with 7:29 left.

[CMJ]

MTSU briefly tied it.  Owls up two now, with 2:49 left.

[emmitt01]

If refs called traveling, FAU is losing by 6-10 right now

[CMJ]

I can't believe this ending.

[outoftown]

FAU is really trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,, but to be fair MTSU is giving it a mighty push.

[UNTLifer]

Following on ESPN Gamcast, which sucks.  It is stuck on 12 seconds left and MTSU getting an offensive rebound.  What has happened/is happening?

[CMJ]

HUGE defensive stand by FAU.  Geez, that was gutsy, I thought MTSU had it.  

[UNTLifer]

MUTS going to come up just short.

[Dannymacfan]

FAU is really an amazing program.  They deserve the at large bid.

[CMJ]

FAU holds on 68-65

Young team and a good coach.

[emmitt01]

Coming into today, FAU scared me.  
 

Now, not so much.  I told my son, “watch FAU if Middle Tennessee gets within a possession, see if they can handle adversity.”  FAU won because Middle has a shoot and pray offense.

I see what you did there.

Glad FAU had adversity at the end of this game. Maybe it will dissolve some of their overconfidence!

(3) UAB vs (1) FAU

 

 

I'll still watch it.  Will probably flip between it and the other games going on at the same time though.

[GMG_Dallas]

I too will be watching. If UAB steals it, you're looking at 2 tournament teams which we haven't had in a while. I personally haven't lost hope for UNT either. A NET of 38 as of today when the field will be finalized. Every other bubble team either crapped the bed yesterday or earlier in the week. Hope is alive as long as OH State, Vanderbilt, and Cincinnati lose today. Those are the last three possible bubble thiefs.

I’m rooting for UAB.  Unbelievable defense yesterday. I think they can win an NCAA round.

I also love the idea of two CUSA teams getting bids.

If both get in and both get an NCAA win, I would feel really good about this season despite our semifinal loss.

Not necessarily in this thread, but I know for the last couple of months there were a ton of questions about if FAU was really legit.  Several people said there was no way they'd win in Frisco.

 

Well....

 

[emmitt01]

UAB was never in this game.
