FAU (3/6/24)

CMJ · March 7

FAU 12 ---------- NT 3

15:57 to go

Owls are hitting on all cylinders early, but hopefully we can get our teeth in this.

Tonto · March 7

The offense is even more lethargic than usual if you can believe that. Still have a chance to cut lead to 7 at free throw line.

Tonto · March 7

Weathered the storm. Chance to tie

CMJ · March 7

FAU 18 ---------- NT 16

10:00 to go

Noland kept us in it for a few minutes and now the offense coming alive.

CMJ · March 7

NT 24 ---------- FAU 23

7:33 to go

Fantastic effort to grab the lead after that start.

CMJ · March 7

FAU 32 ---------- NT 29

4:00 to go

Johnell Davis is putting on a show.

They run so much of their offense through him. Dude can score from pretty much anywhere.

CMJ · March 7

NT 42 ---------- FAU 40

Halftime

Edwards trying to match Davis. Both might get 30+ tonight.

UNTFan23 · March 7

After a bad start, a two point lead at the half feels pretty good.

Matt from A700 · March 7

Ball don't lie at the end there. Don't know how Stone was the one called for the foul when he was getting pushed. Then two missed over-the-backs on the free throw miss.

I do. These refs suck. I don’t like to complain about the officiating, as I have done it in the past, but these three remind me of a certain trio.

He has 21 of their forty. We have to find someone to stop him. I’d be tempted to put Scott on him. Then again, he’s one hell of a player.

Crowd is embarrassing. Team deserves better support than they get from students and Denton.

Filled in nicely.

Still a lot of time left, but SMU losing. If ECU happens to hold on and we can keep our nose in front who has the tie breaker between us and the Mustangs?

As long as he’s allowed to lower his head into the defender’s chest to create space and then take two more steps (after killing his dribble) it will be hard

Exactly. And then they call some ticky-tack BS. Horrible.

FAU 50 ---------- NT 49

Pushed to a seven point led before the Owls went on a 10-0 run.

Rondel still sick?

FAU 56 ---------- NT 55

11:49 to go

Real back and forth action.

"Sick"

He didn't look sick at the women's game last night. I think he's in trouble.

I must have missed him at the women’s game.

FAU 61 ---------- NT 55

The game has largely lost its flow. Tons of fouls being called.

Tonto · March 7

Seen this before… 2nd half officiating killing any rhythm. Ugh. Probably why basketball is like my 4th favorite sport.

UNTLifer · March 7

Need some stops. Refs still horribly inconsistent with their calls.

On another subject, game production much better but the young lady with the mic needs to turn it down. I am going to hear that voice in my sleep for days.

It’s like having Lisa Simpson screeching into a microphone
