FAU is, quite possibly, the best team ever assembled
I think this proves Joel Goodson is really a nom de plume for Jeff Goodman.

Need a start like the Rutgers game to set the tone.I am very hopeful, especially after the Rutgers game shows what we can be. It is a great opportunity for our guys and one I think they grab.
That said, given the Vegas line, is it unrealistically hopeful that people won't completely meltdown if we lose this game.
Yeah, I know. It is.
Sounds like Lou Henson "pre-game speak."FAU is, quite possibly, the best team ever assembled

No Moretti? Let the wild speculation begin in 3....2.....1
They opened at -1.5 it moved to -3.5 within hoursFAU opens as a 3.5 favorite.
I’d take that in a heartbeat.But Marcus, Quincy and Harmon are all shooting below their career averages too so we will get some positive reversion there.
I think we are a better team if we have 5 guys at 35% instead of 2 at 45 and 3 at 25.
Are you talking about Rob Dauster?Honestly, after listening to the ILLINI Inquirer podcast with the FAU beat writer, I'd love to wipe this team off the floor. So smug. It doesn't matter at all but most interview subjects on the show are at least a bit balanced and this guy is a total homer. No attention to the fact that we beat Kansas and that our only loss was to Marquette. Let's GO!
"Tremendous"Sounds like Lou Henson "pre-game speak."
That, and "They're a really fine ball club."
Are you talking about Rob Dauster?
That's not a FAU beat writer. He owns his own college basketball media company. (Or is a major part of it.)
Based on what it feels like to me. Sorry you disagree.Based on what?
Come on. We did NOT beat Kansas.Honestly, after listening to the ILLINI Inquirer podcast with the FAU beat writer, I'd love to wipe this team off the floor. So smug.

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I get for multitasking being a dad. Either way, I disagree with his homerism and his apparently uneducated take on our team which was my point. Most people they have on are neither of thoseAre you talking about Rob Dauster?

Much better. My only qualm with this one is they overlooked the fact that Goldin only plays 22 MPG. Their primary backup big is Rosado who plays about 15 MPG and is a 6’8 250 lb bully. But I don’t think he can bully Dain who could feast in those 15 minutes. This could be a Dain game.This is a pretty good game preview.
Just shows you how hard it is for national media to understand what’s going on at all times across all programs, and the low level of information they have when creating their takes about programs like ours.Are you talking about Rob Dauster?

Nice catch. Sincere is there though…No Moretti? Let the wild speculation begin in 3....2.....1
Nico not traveling?
He certainly didn’t “Lou Holtz” his team, did he?Was just going to say he’s a national guy but I agree! Seemed very dismissive of the Illini. FAU may win the game tomorrow but there are a bunch of interesting matchups he could have talked about but clearly didn’t do his homework. We are spoiled with Werner and Piper.
Intense daily rehab of that foot/ankle likely trumps a week of traveling, eating, (sightseeing?) and watching his teammates on the court.Nico not traveling?
I just didn't hear it that way. Werner asked him specifically about what Dauster saw in FAU because they played in a tournament that was hosted by his company (Field of 68). Dauster is a hair arrogant in the way he speaks, from my perspective, but I don't recall him really being asked for the Illini perspective as much.Thanks for the clarification.
