FIU looks REALLY improved. They have the highest paid coaching staff in the Sun Belt and it looks like it is starting to pay off. 21-21 against the Terps, at Maryland. Last week FIU was beating aTm at College Stattion until late in the 4th quarter and they just collapsed. Same thing happened the week before. Maybe they can finish this week. If not, they are very close to turning their ship around.

I think they'll beat Maryland today, and should have a great chance over Pitt (who is sucking this year) in their next game; if they come out of that ooc at 2-2, look out Sun Belt. Their head coach, Cristobal, has done a great job. Wasn't he an assistant at Miami of Florida (left with Coker firing?)? My bet is for them to go bowling, and I'd say they have as good a chance as any to win the Belt.

Cristobal took over a dismal, winless Strock team and started seeing significant improvement in year one. We should expect the same next year.

Also, they'll probably be 0-4 in OOC, but will still be a huge threat in the Belt. They'll be in every game.

+1 I like your prediction better than mine, with that quick td by Maryland with about 4 minutes left. I especially like your "they'll be in every game".

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.

      We're considered a mid-major I believe. P5 are Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big East.
