The 2023 March Madness “Other Games” Thread

People keep asking this question, and I don’t understand it. You want the 16-seed. YOU WANT THE 16-SEED. Lol.

I agree. We just gotta keep imposing our will and forcing the other team to play our style, and not their run and gun style.

FAU is actually pretty small outside of the one Russian dude that’s 7-1

They just look big because FDU is the smallest team in D-1.

Yet somehow they took down Purdue and Edey. You'd have thought Purdue's length would have given them a huge edge. Didn't see that game so I'm not sure how they managed to do that.

 

[Volnut]

Wow, that Tobin Anderson can talk fast!

Jacking up 3's the minute they cross mid court. Helter skelter crazy pace to the game. Fun to watch.

Small teams can be dangerous if they press a lot.

However, Purdue's strategy made no sense and FDU made a lot of 3s.

FDU doesn't sell 1500 tickets in New Jersey, no reason to think they sell more than that across the river. The neutrals are going to be their friend.

The neutrals from Mich State and K State will be big F_U fans on Thursday.

FAU it is

He's on something.

Game

Tennessee vs Florida Atlantic

Get ready, guys

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Both FDU and FAU not looking good

I'd rather play FDU
FAU has some length

No they don’t, they play 4 guys at a time under 6’4”

 

[omghulkhands]

No they don’t, they play 4 guys at a time under 6’4”

They just look big and long on TV because FDU is so small

 

[Vols till I fall]

That center for fau sucks

 

[JRVOL11]

we should definitely be able to win the rebound battle between fau. also our length should affect their shooters

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Goodnight, FDU. Thanks for the memories.

 

[ndubvols]

FAU really spreads you out. Going to have to play good man to man and stay in front of your guy. If you do that, seems like they can take some bad shots/force some things

 

[Vols till I fall]

Thanks fdu for taking out Purdue for us

 

[Vols till I fall]

I'm not impressed by fau

 

[Willy14]

No they don’t, they play 4 guys at a time under 6’4”

Would a game against FAU call for more of a big lineup to try to bully them in the post or go small to try to defend the three ball better?

 

[Allvols98]

FDU

Oofffff

 

[Namorto1]

If we play FAU, we slow that tempo, beat them to death on inside and defensively park our heels on 3 pt line and force them to drive.

 

[Tenacjim]

No. 50 for FAU is the definition of no skilled big man

Lurch

Uros and Jonas have to be licking their chops.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Can't let them get out in transition. Lock down the three point line.

They blew by them almost at will.

People keep asking this question, and I don’t understand it. You want the 16-seed. YOU WANT THE 16-SEED. Lol.

No 16 seed has never made the S16, but let history be made. The Vols can make history by ending their dance.

I'd say use the usual lineup

Santi
Mashack
JJJ
Nkahmoua
Aidoo

We should destroy them

It’s up to whether or not the refs had enough bran in their diet.
