It's high again to me.

I had 3.

Last game they were at 20 and ended up being 12.

If the trend continues, that would put us at a 2 point win and some folks in the ER.

 

But honestly, I could see us winning this by 10 as well…just depends on what team shows up.

My glass half full take is since USF has been good we won’t take them lightly and it’s a dominating tone setting win that we take by like you said 10+

My glass half full and my more realistic take is. We see and back forth close game that we end up losing in the end. 

Head to head we win in most all meaningful categories except points allowed and blocks:



The latter categories are important because they equate to more possessions. More possessions equals more points.

IT'S GAMEDAY for one of the biggest games this season, everyone!

The time has come. BIG Sunday in The Bay 🦜

High Noon on #ESPN.

This can be a real statement game. USF sort of seems like us last year and a lot of national eyes will be on Tampa today.

We have faced a lot of adversity after starting the season in the top 10 and expected to run through the AAC like a freight train. Hasn't quite gone as planned although overall still a good season. I just hope we show the country we are still far and away the team to the beat in the AAC and a candidate to go far in the tourney. If we still want to be considered an elite team this year, think we really need to make a statement today and get the W.

Agree D-Owl! 

Here are the starters for your FAU MBB squad as they look to put an end to USF MBB's 10-game winning streak:

G Davis
G Boyd
G Greenlee
G Martin
C Goldin

TAME THOSE BULLS, FAU!
