FAU v San Diego State

[gsmooth]

All the Final 4 teams were in AP top 25 so I understand little guy narrative but all were recognized as legit quality teams most of season.

Exactly. It is a nice meat story of them being the little guy but they are all very good

 

[Hoophound]

All are quality teams but I would have never picked FAU to get this far. I didn’t think they’d hold up against Top 25 competition for multiple games in a row. FAU is playing with confidence now. The name on the jersey just doesn’t matter at this point. They can feel in their bones that they more than belong. No fear.

Lots of SDSU fans here!

This the view from the 100s? Stadium is huge lol

Driving at will

Yeah the thing we are the only team that came out of a good conference. Add to this than none of the other three ever made the final four and you have your little guys narrative.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Entertaining first half.

 

[wingsfan055]

FAU is dominant. They will be tough to beat in a Title game.

 

[gsmooth]

I caught myself cheering for FAU a second ago, because I really think SD will be an easier team to play against.

Miami first. Hopefully Hawk is back to himself. Miami's offense scares the hell out of me.

We’re screwed. They’re talking about how the refs are letting the guys play. We’ll have the ticky-tack calls.

Would be a shame for their only big guy to pick up a few quick fouls then against Sanogo and Clingan.

Home in Jersey and big storm is coming our way I can see it in the distance

We had some nasty winds several hours ago, lots of branches down, but not much damage otherwise. I was worried about losing power for a few hours though!

 

[Rocktheworld]

@Kathy you still have power? Mine just went out for a bit

Too big.

 

[BGesus4]

Dome shooting doesn’t seem to be an issue

 

[HuskyHawk]

FAU might be the second best team here.

I think they are. Bet on them. Deep, balanced, do everything pretty well. SDSU is offensively challenged. Miami is defensively challenged.

All the Final 4 teams were AP top 25ish so I understand little guy narrative but all 4 were recognized as legit quality teams most of season.

It’s hopefully spotlights how terrible the comittee is at seeding.

 

[MexicoHusky]

This Gaff thing is odd. Almost spooky. Who woulda predicted he'd be in the Final Four. With a solid chance to play Monday night.

I’m in St. Simonds, GA. Big Lightning storm the last hour+. Of course the TV in my hotel room is broken (Unrelated).

Thanks for asking - I'm good so far - storms are tracking north of me right now. I also have my whole house generator and can use tablet via cell lines if need be.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Too big.

You bring your opera glasses?

 

[Jay-Bone]

This is a tough call. Clearly an elbow, but basically a love tap.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

It will depend on the D. Have to stop 2 of Miller, Wong and Pack.

Can't watch tonight. Made the mistake of buying tickets to a concert. It's about to start.

LET'S GO HUSKIES!

It’s hopefully spotlights how terrible the comittee is at seeding.

The Committee approach to a low-major that dominates their conference, has stellar computer numbers, and is ranked throughout the year is to throw up their hands and put them on the 8/9 line.

I don't expect that kind of power conference favoritism to lessen, but it has been badly exposed this Tournament.

 

[nomar]

Funny, I was thinking today about Kemba embellishing after getting pushed by a SDSU player.

Miller and Wong went 4-17 against Drake and they almost lost

This is why they have StubHub.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Two fouls on 3-point shooters called in the last few minutes. Bodes well for Hawkins if he can actually go and if Jeff Anderson doesn't swallow the whistle when we're on offense.

 

[WrenchFan69]

They should probably take Gaffney out now. He's losing control

 

[MexicoHusky]

I've been puzzled by SDSU for 2 and a half games now. I respect them.... but I sorta hate how they play. Hacks.
