For those who said FAU would lose by 30...

[Freak]

35 wins. Kids can play.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Sooooo....can we hire their coach? Man is about to get PAID by someone.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

And some of you dopes wanted FAU instead of FDU.

 

[Freak]

Big rebounding margin.

 

[Voldog1998]

Very good and disciplined team and well coached. I’m really impressed

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I remember many years ago (last Sunday) when I was told FAU sucked and we wanted them to beat FDU.

 

[omghulkhands]

I think FAU would have waxed Purdue.

Just based on their Ken Pom, one of the most under-seeded teams ever

 

[LivinginthePast]

Fdu gave them a game. But I think they are just playing lights out right now. It’s to hard to win a natty in basketball and baseball. Tournament puts you at a disadvantage no mater what seed you are.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

What could have been if we’d just played two halves of basketball….. good luck in the final 4, FAU! I’m rooting for you to win it all

 

[calban]

I was quiet when brow beat for saying they were dangerous. Maybe Kenpom gets a little more respect from some on here.

 

[brockytop]

Beat TN and odds are you’re going to the Final Four. See Loyola Chicago and other teams.

We can’t get to a FF, but we’re sure the damn road to it.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Good lord. Disorder in the basketball universe

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Sad thing is UT could have beat FAU and K state to be in finals.

Yep…IMO if we had to narrow it down to one reason we lost to them…this is the stat.

Remember at halftime if you were concerned we left too many points on the floor and that their 3s would start to fall in the second half, you were a “NegaVol”?

I think the MSU game--which was very intense and went to OT--took more than a little starch out of KSU. But FAU can play.
They are athletic, they move the ball well, they are quick and defend well, they rebound very well for a small team, they make smart
decisions, they can shoot the 3....and What the hell! they're in the freakin' Final Four. Unbelievable.

How about $5 million?

 

[Sudden Impact]

This team FAU reminds me of the Western Kentucky 1971 without the Height. Lost in the Semi Final game to Villanova 2OT and won the consolation game against Kansas.

You realize prior to this year he was only 8 games over .500 (4 seasons). May want to see if he can sustain it for more than a year.

Yea hindsight is 20/20

 

[Volprofch05]

You mean sometimes the lower seeded teams in the NCAA tourney actually are really good at basketball? Who knew?

Not my fault people didn't pay attention to BTO's comments about FAU. They were posted in English.

Interesting that whoever wins this stat, especially by a large margin and when they are undersized, is usually the team that wants it more, not always but most often.

That’s not from our game. We didn’t lose because of rebounding.. we lost shooting 33.3% from the field.

Was that the team that had Jim McDaniel at center? Crazy story was our science teacher at Cleveland Junior high in 1973 was the backup center at WKU, I think his name was Jerry Mcnabb, and he was around 6’10
