Thought it was over for sure after Rice hit that late basket.

Here's the game winner, this was actually a drawn up play!

FAU WINS!!! For the second time this season, a late three gives FAU a win in the Lone Star State. This time Justin Massey is the hero. Here’s a look at the game winner. #AtlanticRising pic.twitter.com/BXxiaRCDHG

Yes that was amazing. But we needed a last second three pointer to win a game where Rice spotted us thirteen possessions. Nice win but we have a lot of problems.

I know I'm the Debbie Downer.  Looking at that game, looking at the numbers, looking at the lack of production from certain player, we have problems. Rice would have won if they could have made 1 of 13 during their miss streak. Yes, we won. But man!
