Isu loses at Southern Illinois.   Have to win arch madness. 

That hurt. They also played without Kent as he didn't pass concussion protocol. That didn't help them.

 

Edit to add I saw your post about Kent after I replied!

FAU needs a win to keep pace with South Florida in the American.   If FAU wins and Charlotte wins as well there will be a 3 way tie for first with 5 games to play.   FAUs last 5 include Memphis twice and at North Texas.  That’s a tough ending to the conference regular season for them

Play SMU in there as well.  There might exist a path where they don't make the tournament.

Jim Jackson took that in stride.

My God, South Florida is just clown stomping Florida Atlantic right now.....46-29 late in the first half.

South Florida up 24 on FAU early in second half. 

Scratch Dusty off the list!

4-16 from 3 so far. And not good from 2. 
 

I like their spacing. And their attack space concept is fine. But they get very little movement off the ball, so they tend to get a bunch of jump shots in space if the other team is shutting off driving lanes. If you’re not hitting those, then there doesn’t seem to be much else. Going to need more in his playbook than that to be successful long term in the B1G. 
 

This is also 2 games in a row they haven’t defended the 3 well.

No defense and getting smoked on National TV proves Dusty is ready for IU now.

At the rate we're eliminating candidates, we may have to beg Crean to come back and resuscitate the program.

He's up for it ...

FAU cut it by 10 to 14 now with about 7 minutes left and about to go to the line for a flagrant 1 I would assume.  Hit the free throws and get the bucket and it would be a 10 point game.

College experience, been a HC in the last 10 years. Progress!

[RaceToTheTop]

South Florida letting up right now....Florida Atlantic within single digits with 6:23 left.

[str8baller]

Was 9pts and a tough call goes against Davis. Back to 11

[LamarCheeks]

O$U up 37-32 over the Toiletmakers early in 2nd half. 

Put Jake Diebler on the list! 

 

 

[RaceToTheTop]

Really bad call IMO....foul on South Florida was before the shot, but instead they count the three pointer plus the foul fighting through a pick.  Florida Atlantic five point play, South Florida's lead down to 7 at 79-72

[str8baller]

FAU with the ol’ 5pt play!

[str8baller]

At least 3 fouls by FAU away from the bucket they didn’t want to commit down the stretch here. Defensive discipline gonna cost them this game.
