I am pullin' for y'all to shock the world!!!

ROLL OWLS!

FINAL FOUR FAU, TOM HERMAN FAU, THE OWLS ARE NOT MESSING AROUND!

#P6 lives on another day!

Great game FAU. Watched probably 90% of it, was anxious to see some hoops with UConn on right after.

Martin and Davis are both legit players. I was shocked Martin is only 6’2, he looked a lot bigger on the court. Although I think Nowell being 5’7 probably had something to do with that, lol. Both were fearless and made tough shots throughout the game. Goldin is damn good, and Forrest has that calming presence a veteran leader needs to have. He looked so poised at the FT line to close it out.

Keep winning! If you get matched up against Creighton it will be tough for me to pick a side, lol.

Congrats to FAU. Impressive!

Congrats FAU. You guys were underseeded from the start. With the transfer portal we are seeing unprecedented parity in college basketball, and I think its a great thing. Keep riding that momentum!

UConn was extremely impressive last night. Congrats!

The Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference bothstarted with eight teams in the 68-team field and none were left in the Elite Eight, but FAU stands in the final four.

Well then, they obviously should have had at least 12 teams each.

Interestingly, during the early part of a season, a Detroit Mercy coach walked into the FAU locker room after his team got pounded by FAU and told everyone there that he thought FAU was one of the top 5 teams in the nation.

I'd say the guy was prescient.

Thanks. Even I was taken aback a bit by how dominant we were!

Class move by a class coach from a class school. In my 12 years of going to UTSA football games, Kansas State fans were by far the friendliest I've encountered. Flew up to Manhattan for our game against them a few years ago, and my friend and I were greeted by K-State fans left and right as we walked through the tailgate scene on our way to the stadium, and were invited to tailgate with them. Just very friendly and welcoming people.

Got to be in the tunnel to watch our team enter the field before the game, and our boys were preceded by the K-State band and cheerleaders, and even many of them greeted us on their way through. Very happy FAU won because they're in our conference and because my father in law is an alumnus of the school, but if they had lost, I definitely would've pulled for K-State the rest of the way.

There are trolls in every school, whether in social media or at the games, who are locked into the flaunt and taunt game, but if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on the Wildcats fanbase as being one of the classiest, and that the culture at the school probably compels the school to look for the same quality in their coaches.

They were awesome in Las Vegas. Great fans.
