Penn over Villanova. Another example of why you don't wanna play a decent Ivy League team. As we almost found out last yr against Cornell.

FAU just got its face kicked in by Earl Timberlake's Bryant squad

FAU was up 3 at the half. Ended up losing by 9.

Earl scored 13 (on 6-11 shooting, no threes attempted). 12 boards and 3 TOs. Played all 40 minutes!

Wouldn't be shocked if he didn't take a shot beyond 15 feet. He has to embrace what he is, and that's a guy that should be able to defend, rebound and slash. Maybe the shot eventually comes, but at this point, him being a high end contributor would be a big step forward.

Michigan beat our ***.

Nice to see us bounce back in Charleston, finished 2-1 in the tourney, finishing third with a win over Utah.

Six games into the Pitino era and I'm stoked. Gonna be a bumpy road for sure, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I think Earl would have been a good player here. Unfortunate circumstances totally outside the control of the coaching staff.

I dunno. He was a classic tweener. Not nearly a good enough shooter to play guard; not really tall enough to play inside. That "flat" shot he had. Still don't know how any of those went in, from the floor or when he was at the FT line.

We gonna sit here and let this stat go unnoticed? Hurley has UCONN HUMMING.

I hate that UCONN. But ****, I'd be lying if I said Hurley and UCONN are not gonna be a force to be reckoned with for a loooooooooong time.

OU is sneaky good. I’d keep an eye on them.

Indiana comes back from 15 down with 10 minutes left in the second half against Morehead Stare to win by one point.

Walker led the way with 18 points and 9 rebounds (he made the only three ball he shot).

Providence 10-2 has been on a tear since their early loss in the Bahamas that kept us from facing them. Now 10-2 they just walloped nbr 6 Marquette. But this suggests the Ruiz of Rhode Island is abt to get them some added firewood:

is FAU better than us?

 

[Cane in Los Angeles]

is FAU better than us?

Well, at this point they’ve won against the big ranked teams they’ve faced. Us? Not so much.

 

[numbers]

is FAU better than us?

Yes, They defend, rebound, and play connected on offense. We do about half of one of those right now. Lots of season left.

That David kid is a terrific player.

is FAU better than us?

Right now, yep. Did u see the Arizona game?

Right now, yep. Did u see the Arizona game?

I didn't want to chime in earlier in the season when some were questioning the love FAU was getting in the polls (different threads).

Team is legit and is certainly final four caliber.

I caught highlights

I caught highlights

Johnell Davis had 35, and FAUs 7 footer Goldin was in foul trouble all game and fouled out in regulation. Gaffney, the UConn xsfer, chimed in for 20. And this against one of what most "experts" consider a Final Four team in AZ.
