[CMJ]

FAU 62 ---------- NT 57

 

7:55 to go

 

 

Need to find some offense.  Without Jones in we're struggling.

[TIgreen01]

Refs have made this unwatchable basketball.  These are two good teams.  Get out of the way and stop ruining the game!

[CMJ]

FAU 69 ---------- NT 66

 

2:27 to go

 

 

Coming right down to the end.  Need to keep getting stops and hope we can hit a few to steal this one.

They are just better . We can beat them but it would have to be a perfect night for us.  We might get them in the quarterfinals.

The constant DJ’d music is a whipping as well.

Final

Disappointed for Rubin that he didn't have a better final home game, but maybe he'll have better games in the post-season.  That 4th foul called on him looked very ticky-tack to me.

He has another year if he chooses….

A lot of dumb fouls by our guys, but a lot of them were minimal. Look at the stat sheet, I don't remember a game that had so many starters in foul trouble all year.

It’s been such a frustrating year record wise and I know we’ve had injuries too.  But our team is so tough and I’m so proud of these guys.  This is what it’s like to be in a good basketball conference and we just gotta keep goin and growin.  Hope nobody is ready to fall off the wagon.  Apart from still having the conference tournament ahead of us, we can’t do the thing we do sometimes where we give up.  Don’t let go of the rope! 

[Glory to the Green]

FAU played better. Wonder what the game looks like with Rondel playing?  We had our chances, but couldn’t make a bucket those last 4 mins. Thought we could have taken advantage of Scott’s size a bit more. Maybe in the AAC tournament?  Foul trouble really bit us today. 

[greenminer]

I thought tonight would be the night we finally get past Davis and Co.

I'll be glad when he's gone.

Don't forget that loss at Boise State this season when Scott and Jones both fouled out and then we lost at the end.

I don’t mind the music except the macarena needs to be retired forever and forgotten

For them to win, they have to capitalize on every opportunity. The guys missed a lot of layups and shots up close. Also saw them force passes to cutters too often which caused turnovers. Glad Buggs stepped up and buried a few 3s. I want him to be more aggressive offensively moving forward. 

[TIgreen01]

We need some guys who can score inside and draw fouls.  We got some calls tonight but those refs sucked and called every little thing, which mostly benefited FAU.  When we’ve played teams that can get to the line and the refs are playing along we’re deficient and struggle to keep pace.

[Green Lantern]

Congrats to FAU on the win. They flat beat us. Davis is a great player. They made the winning plays when it counted. Thought our situational basketball down the stretch was suspect, particularly the bad inbounds play. Impressed with FAU’s athletes and their physicality. 

[DeepGreen]

Agree.  What I saw was a very good FAU team.  But still proud of our team.

The DJ for the women's game is much better.  They will play every type of music at the MBB games other than hiphop to hype the crowd.  

When he played "Phillips Phillips - Home" I about lost it.  Plz no HGTV commercial songs.  We are allowed to be 2024 hype.

[Big Z]

How is it that we played them better at their place? 

[Matt from A700]

We had our chances. I won't say the refs cost us the game, but at least let me bitch about FAU. Just like the game in Denton last year, FAU needs to weather a run and they start flopping. Goldin is the worst. They are an incredible basketball team and don't need to resort to that garbage. I even yelled at the refs to be ready for it before the game started but apparently they didn't believe me.

The no call on Noland driving to basket was pathetic
