FAU KSU Game

[Letsgohuskies11]

How so? He grabbed his forearm. Calls don’t get more clear. They are calling this very tight.

Did he grab it? Looked like he just extended his arm and Nowell jumped and kicked out his leg when he was way off

Wow. That piece on Jordan.

EJ was straight up crying

 

[storrsroars]

Wow. That piece on Jordan.

Jay Wright compared Hawk to Kerry Kittles. I guess that's OK. Kittles had a decent 8-year NBA career. Made himself $55 mill in 90s-00s dollars.

 

[Jay-Bone]

I love that KSU isn't afraid of mid-range jump shots.

 

[GlastonTim]

What a lousy call

 

[Jaker]

FAU has some ballers

 

[Jay-Bone]

Oh my god, that spin and dish.

Would be interesting to see Goldin vs Kalk if FAU and Creighton win.

Kalkbrenner is a lot better than Goldin. Kalkbrenner is pretty close to a perfect college center for 2023.

That said, SDSU is a really interesting matchup for Creighton. That SDSU team is physical on both ends, and could wear Creighton down given Creighton's weak bench.

This is kind of crazy to say, but Alabama might have been the better matchup for Creighton. Alabama was a bit overrated all year, racking up wins against a bunch of mediocre SEC teams, and the pressure on them was off the charts given all the off court stuff. Miller is playing on a big stage for the first time, and it got to him. Also, Quinnerly is a full blown dipspit of a player too, which could keep any opponent in the game. I don't get how his teammates don't want to kill him with the terrible, selfish decisions he makes.

I watched Nowell in the regular season and noticed he was good, really good, but he has ice water in his veins. He is Kemba and Bazz reincarnated in college ball.

 

[Ratso]

damn, not sure who to cheer for - jalen or diet kemba

 

[gsmooth]

damn, not sure who to cheer for - jalen or kemba-lite

Saving all my rooting energy for the next game

 

[Jay-Bone]

Kemba lite is a lot more fun.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is a dangerous spot for FAU.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Not sure who's missed more layups. Keyontae foul trouble is a big problem.

Quinerly was so lousy yesterday. I wasn't going for anyone in that game, but Quinerly pissed me off with his poor decision to haphazardly going to the basket only to get shut down and rejected.

This is a fun game. FAU has no fear and KSU is exciting to watch.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I think the winner of Creighton/SDSU is a little better than either of these teams. Nowell's crazy hero ball is fun, but lighting up Jalen Gaffney and lighting up Ryan Nembhard are two very different things.

 

[Jay-Bone]

What a band of misfits. Nowell is a tiny transfer from Arkansas Little rock, Tomlin didn't play high school basketball, and Keyontae collapsed on the court.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Good no call on the KSU flop there.

 

[mauconnfan]

KSU is Duke flopping all 2nd half good no call just now. Goldin is excellent love his game.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Thought the officiating has been fairly consistent this tourney in letting teams play without foul calls deciding too many games.

 

[MexicoHusky]

This game has a Alabama SDSU feel to it

 

[Jay-Bone]

Good no call on the KSU flop there.

Meh, sneaky Russians.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Vlad Goldin moves like the beta-release of a Russian bot programmed for basketball. He’s playing a heII of a game tonight.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

This game is surreal.

It reminds me (save the shot clock & three point line) of opening round games in my college days during the infancy of ESPN (the first time those games were televised). There would always be a great game between a school you barely heard of (and never saw) and a decent but not too big name. That is what this feels like.

Gaffney has played him well he’s really lit up the other FAU guards.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

FAU misses a lot of layups.

Throw in that El-Amin cockiness

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I am not throwing stones at Gaffney. He and the rest of FAU have played great basketball. I am just saying that Nembhard, and Alexander, are next level defenders. The FAU backcourt simply isn't as good defensively as the two Creighton guards.

 

[BugsyCT]

Looked like K-State was gaining control a few minutes ago. Nice recovery by FAU. They might be the American's new flag bearers.
