1 SEC team left

What an unbelievable postseason by FAU, and the entirety of CUSA in general.  Just so proud.

Everyone get your GMG Lights app ready. Quick at-home celebration by osmosis.

A really great game.  A day or so ago, one of the knuckleheads on Sirius XM said that Tennessee would "knock FAU's heads off".  

Ha!

[Glory to the Green]

FAU was cold and kept it close. Once they made some shots, it was over.  I like to think that they still haven’t faced a defense as good as UNT.

Indeed, and these guys are moving with us.  This is going to be a real fun league.   I’m damn sure we can still compete post Grant era and Eric is getting me hyped for our football future.  Already booked for the October Tulane trip.  Great crew scootin into the AAC.

FAU's margin of victory in the NCAA 

Memphis 1

Fairleigh Dickinson 8

Tennessee (Mighty SEC) 7

For comparison:

NT 4

NT 4

FAU has a great team and I hope they win it all, but NT certainly looks as good as anyone they have played in the tourney.

Ditto! Incredible run by FAU! I don’t think they get by KSU for a final four appearance but who knows!

I think they match up pretty well with them.

This is one of the most fantastic showings by a CUSA group in the postseason that I can remember!!!!

A team that can get as hot as they can always has a chance. It’ll be a tough game. Let’s see if FAU has enough juice left. Saturday is a quick turnaround after playing a physical team like Tennessee.

Credit to Tennessee for staying in this game as long as they did...they're just not used to this level of basketball.

Honestly did seem as physical as I anticipated.

But I could be wrong.  I'm the one sitting in front of my keyboard snorting my drink through my nose.  Doesn't mean I know how hard they're feeling it.

Well, Kansas St went to OT. I'm sure they'll be feeling it as well.

Thought this was a cool moment. When asked about UNT/UAB, he smiled…like he was proud of his conference mates.  It’s been a similar vibe on Twitter. All CUSA teams are pulling for each other. 
 

 

[untbowler]

you know old Commish Judy is excited to take all the credit for the 4 teams making runs in the 3 post-season tournaments, of course she is so bad at her job she forgets none of these teams are coming back next year. 

[Jonnyeagle]

Stunning!!! Very proud of this league.

I really like what I see in leadership from Coach May and Coach Mac.  (Perhaps Coach Kennedy off the court is similar . I don’t know ). The care for players, on court demeanor (although different) , and service above self show and makes the players serve each other that way .

Cool video and all, but it needs to be known by EVERYBODY that these teams are going to the AAC. Judy The Joke will probably try boasting cusa next year because of this success.

Channeling UNT vibes here. I get the security guards side of things, but this is fun.
