A win on the road is a great win!

Just hate seeing the careless turnovers. We can get away with that against teams like FAU but we don't beat MTSU or La Tech doing that.

It's even better in person.

Gave up 46 second-half points on the road, and still won!

Cylla and Troutman were a combined 9-15 from downtown.

FAU had 40 points off the bench.

It was really just two players. Lee had 5 TOs and Mehinti had 3. Baxter has 2 and no one else had more than 1

The ESPN box score lists Nick Norton scoring 1 point??

Did Nick get in for a free throw?

Nope that's actually Lavender's FT IIRC - they tried to give Nick another point from a FAU FT in the 1st half as well but corrected it. Also had us along w/ Baxter w/ an extra 3 pts before they corrected that - we could have used those pts that Gametracker seemed to want to give us

UAB RPI jumps one spot to 124. FAU's jumps one spot as well to 334.

Didn't realize until watching this game that UTSA is 4-1 in conference.

Official box is on the FAU site. They took Nick's point away.

KenPom went from 127 to 131.

I find it difficult to believe that a team that can win at Ohio St can have an RPI of 334.

I thought I saw you while watching...

I wasn't there but I have seen her in person before up close and personal. ;-) I know who you saw. LOL

Lavender's increased scoring role really gives this team another dynamic.

We want Lee to be more aggressive and play the way he has been recently too. Turnovers are going to go up as his usage does. I can live with that.

That is an excellent point. People need to do more than just look at stat sheets.
