They never issue statements on a player's health.

Correct. Why change now. Added benefit of keeping FAU guessing during game-planning today.

Wow, I have never loved being this wrong before. Glad he's doing better.

CMJ · March 15

I guess we'll see on TV shortly, but how's the crowd looking?

BleedingGreen · March 15

I love Aaron’s passion and heart .

GreenGuy123 · March 15

Let’s do this, boys!

CMJ · March 15

FAU 7 ---------- NT 4

15:54 to go

Some sloppy plays on offense so far. Need to clean it up against these guys.

Pavlovs Eagle · March 15

Why is it so warm in Dickies? It was freezing yesterday.

CMJ · March 15

FAU 12 ---------- NT 4

13:33 to go

Owls on a 9-0 run. Their defense is frustrating us.

CMJ · March 15

FAU 12 ---------- NT 6

11:53 to go

If we can really make this ugly, we may be able to win - but we're definitely not gonna score a lot tonight.

greenminer · March 15

FAU defense is amazing, and they are winning the rebounds.

Greendylan · March 15

Not getting any favors from the refs thus far...

UNTBill · March 15

I really hope that is our last scoring drought of the evening!!!

They have a way of making us look ugly.

Doesn’t help that our leading scorer has 2 free throws, a bad turnover, and a shot off the side of the backboard

Wow. Gonna have to beat FAU & the refs tonight. Sheesh. Can’t do it with these turnovers either.

CMJ · March 15

FAU 23 ---------- NT 14

7:04 to go

Noland has been our offense the last couple of minutes.

TheColonyEagle · March 15

It’s almost like the way the games were reffed this year has conditioned the aggressiveness out of our defense. But the refs are letting them play. Should be to our benefit. FAU is taking advantage. We are not so far.

BleedingGreen · March 15

I would love to see some dribble drives kick to Buggs.

CMJ · March 15

FAU 25 ---------- NT 23

3:27 to go

Great run by the good guys!

They’re sitting on the kick out. I want to see us continue to take it to the cup and force contact

Andrew · March 15

Need to see stone. Two of our much needed guys in foul trouble. 😕

GMG_Dallas · March 15

All I know is there's a lot of basketball left. FAU looks tired. Would be good to take advantage before the end of the half.

Absolutely. Get them into foul trouble now and it will serve us well late in the game.

These refs suck, and I don’t like being critical having officiated in my past. It isn’t easy, but these guys are terribly inconsistent. One minute they are letting them play and the next they are calling a silly touch foul.

Fau defense was digging their heels. But they're statistically meh on defense.

I love our pace right now. It's in our rhythm. We don't need to push with 25 foot passes though. That's not who we are and the shit gotta go.

**Also, and I know yesterday I won't sit here and critique, but you gotta start doing inbound own basket sets. Just getting it in is a lost opportunity, and we have settled for just gettin it in. We need to jr high stack to start off? I can definitely help with that.
