Goldin is a transgender. Has to be.

Johnell Davis must like Harden. Doing the patented head whip back. Just.... puuusssss

What a start to the half...both teams trading haymakers.

Dudes are just falling down. Does Dickies arena have ghosts?

Would have been nice to keep our guys out of foul trouble. We don’t need him to do anything other than play decent defense and eat up 3-4 minutes of the game clock so our guys don’t pick up 2 fouls…. Much less 3… but it’s too late now my phone is delayed since we are in San Diego apparently lol. 

Problem is that two of the fouls on Scott were phantom and a result of FAU bs. Boyd should have been called for a flop there.

Is the anti-flop rule an NBA thing?

Scott back to 2 fouls. That’s a good break

The refs don’t even know. Ridiculous. 

[emmitt01]

Right on cue, Goldin initiates contact and gets the call.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Have we though about recruiting a goon... to perform flagrant 2s to send messages? 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

As predicted... here come the fouls.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Keep fighting. Just fight. Score doesn't matter. Fight.

Great effort out there by both squads.  We're keeping our nose in front.

FAU: Floppers are us.

[emmitt01]

I actually texted this to several people at halftime, and I’ll be damned if it isnt coming to pass.

”In the second half you’ll see the same thing you saw in Denton a few weeks ago…FAU will get sent to the line repeatedly for the first 12 minutes to open up a lead, and then meaningless (non-shooting) calls will go our way late to make it look more even.”

[NorthTexasWeLove]

These gay zebras are willing fau

[TheColonyEagle]

I don’t even know how you defend in a game like this. What are you supposed to do 

[UNTLifer]

My goodness. Not a foul on Jones. Complete bullshit. DVIs pushes off with his free arm and Rubin just sticks with him and gets called. Horrible. 
 

Davis is one hell of a player.

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. 

Safe to say this hasn’t aged well…

Hitting some big shots, but having trouble keeping Davis out of the lane.

[Andrew]

This is such a poorly officiated game. Very frustrating to watch.

Nothing. Bring little posters stuffed in your shorts at the free throw line reading, "Disney dictated that phantom foul"

This game will come down to offensive execution and turnovers not the refs .

My comment here is also not aging well.

[UNTLifer]

CJ is going to have to keep being “Tournament CJ” and Buggs and Walker are going to have to step up. Would also love to see NIT Sissoko show up. Keep fighting boys. You got this.
