Have a bad feeling about tonight now. Tells me Vegas knows how this game will be called by the refs, and it will not be the same way all the other NCAA games have been called.

UT was in a ton of boost bets over the weekend too. 2-0. I haven’t seen anything on any of the bet sites that has made me worry yet from that stand point.

As long as we win, I don’t care, however, I will be very concerned if it is that close to the game. I don’t think they can match our physicality, so if it is that close, then the whistle has favored them the whole game.

They're a really good team and have only lost 3 times all season. No need at all for concern if we win close. There would be 59 other tourney teams very happy to have won their game close.

Every team left is very good/streaking and doesn't need any whistles to win or make it a close one. Every game is crazy tough here on out, don't let the name brand or lack thereof fool us. Nor does Vegas just hand away money...and we saw that 11 pt Louisiana spread game come down to a mere 3 pt win, even with a favorable foul margin.

Just win and advance!

Nerves are building. The more predictions I read the more I see these people stopping just short of predicting an FAU win. All predicting FAU to cover the spread.

I wish UT would come out and smoke them early, winning by 40.

I don’t see FAU covering the spread. We are a much better team who has beaten VASTLY better competition.

They have played virtually nobody the whole year. We would have likely gone undefeated with their schedule.

I won’t be refuting conspiracies against Vols tonight.

Not bc I think there is one. But a narrative has definitely been built around Vols style of play going into this one. And I suspect fans will have plenty to complain about this evening. Hopefully it’s just for the first few mins and then everyone settles in.

They actually have a better win rate vs Quad 2 and Quad 1 teams.

They were 6-3 vs Q1 + Q2 teams. (2-1 vs Quad 1...67% 4-2 vs Quad 2...67%)

We were .500 at 10-10 (7-7 vs Quad 1...50% 3-3 vs Quad 2...50%)

Now...I'd say we played higher Q1 teams for sure. But Q2, they were still better and no excuses there.

This is a good team. We need to respect them.

Luckily the team knows better and are not as foolish... 😒

People putting FAU down probably wouldn't do the same to P5 teams like MSU or K St...and yet FAU is #13 in NET rankings...10 spots higher than KState and 20 spots above Mich St 😒
