I'm not salty.  I just feel a 33 win team deserves credit.

They definitely do, but the larger point is also true - heck, Creighton just beat a 15 seed to get to the round of 8.

#1 had an open 3 at the top of the key he passed up. That was a mistake, hey?

Certainly weird last two possessions. Suddenly Nowell didn't want to shoot.

FAU has been higher in KenPom for a while now. They’ve been very good all year.

There is some luck involved draw wise but FAU is 34-3.  They're an excellent team and deserves major props.

They completely outplayed Tennessee.  They certainly have a shot.

Good call Muggs.

Keyontae Johnson had a terrible game, thought Tang should have benched him more.  Alas...

He was 8 for 21 and 1/3 of his points came from foul line.  Some terrible shots at the end.  Cameras didn’t go to his brother at end? 

Good for FAU. Like these stories, good for basketball.

Not as good as 11 seed George Mason in 2006, who beat Michigan St., North Carolina, Wich St and UConn, but a great run.

Cut the bcrap Blue.  FAU is a solid team.

I didn’t say they weren’t a solid team. There are a couple dozen or more solid teams in the tournament. Several of them get eliminated early in close games and others advance. Is Memphis not a solid team because they lost to FAU by one point on a last second shot?

The more games I see in this tournament, the more I think that if you started the tournament over again you might get a quite different Elite 8.

That's possible but FAU is 34-3 for a reason..  You can't teach quickness Blue, IVe mentioned this for 15 years.   They're a great story and deserve to be in the F4.

I see Hurley trying to get his guys to run with Gonzaga. That will not end well. Zags roll

And we beat them 2/3.  Tremendously upsetting.

his record outside of this year isn’t that great. But, yes, he’ll be a hot commodity. But I don’t think it’s justified

They won’t be a 9 seed next year.

Because they won't make the tournament after their coach gets poached and most if their team transfers?

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
