Florida Atlantic (3/15/24)

Golden can literally do anything he wants… on both ends…. One would think FAU would want to win the game legitimately. The referees are insulting the game. For both teams.

Crap

I hate our back down play. Takes all the rhythm out of our offense. 

Exactly. I just don’t think AScott has much of a game plan once he’s down there. I prefer CJ

[Andrew]

How pathetic to get beat by the refs… the better team lost. How pathetic for FAU to know they didn’t actually win the game. Almost feel sorry for them…. But the crap show of the refs keeps that feeling at bay.

Actually, FAU is in regardless.  USF isn't.

No. If FAU wins it, we DO NOT get a second bid.

Ultimately, they have shot makers. We need to play perfect down the stretch.  Very hard to do

Why are these getting downvoted, they’re just explaining the fact of the matter lol

[UNTLifer]

FAU is good at baiting fouls. They claimed Jones clamped down on their player on the no call free throw a while back. FAU baits that and it looks like a clamp. They are discreet in pushing with their off hand on offense. Somebody asked if it was coached. It is obvious that it is, they’re good at it and get away with it.

Reality is because people are stupid. 

[Tonto]

Every loss looks the same.  Blown 2nd halves

[TheColonyEagle]

32 free throws for FAU 

[UNTLifer]

Why are we not shooting threes being down by six?  We did the same thing last Sunday. I don’t get it. 

[Coltonw83]

Why not do that before? 30 seconds down 6, take 3s lmao. Gotta overcome the deficit

Davis is the most maddening opponent I think I’ve ever seen us play. He’s just so damn good. Not flashy…he’s just a damn basketball player. 
 

I hate him 

This is exactly how I feel. He's just THAT good. 

[Coltonw83]

Tragic, that would’ve had us back in it 😞

FAU 77 ---------- NT 71

 

Final

Why does Edwards continue to drive. F’ing maddening.

I'm going to miss this team. I liked this squad and hopefully the new rules to postseason, for the purposes of eyeballs (revenue), hasn't ended their season. 

[UNTLifer]

We need USF to win it all to have any shot at the NIT. 

[Coltonw83]

Some of it is just luck but its been wild how we went from elite in the clutch to just really bad in close games from last year to this one

He probably should have driven on the steal when we forced the turnover and we were down four and that's when he decided to shoot a trey.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Our issue is shooting. With zero height, we have to make threes more consistently than tonight to beat good teams. 

[TIgreen01]

Alright Edwards, this offseason slow down on the cross over step back three.  Next season you’re gonna be a juggernaut if you can just stay in control on that shot.

 Hodge: Get us some bigs.  We’re freaking unbalanced.
