Arizona is legit. They look a level above FAU.

Yep...it's getting ugly early, unfortunately.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Not going to be a great day in support of our big wins.

Goldin injury is close to worse case scenario for them. He has been so impressive this year.

 

[Oranges]

FAU fighting back a bit here

FAU fighting back a bit here

Yeah, but if Goldin can't get back in with the knee injury, it's not happening.

 

[IllinialuminAZ]

And as I say it, he checks back in.

 

[amillini#2]

FAU looks like they want it more; hope they get what they want

Edit:
Oof, timing

 

[abchew2]

Goldin with 2 fouls, if he could stay on the court I don’t know how you would stop FAU

 

[RockfordIllini]

Any chance we can throw a bag at Boswell this offseason and pull him out of the desert?

Ty has done great in his role. But if we are missing a piece this year, it’s Boswell not Dennis IMHO.

 

[IllinialuminAZ]

Not a bad half for FAU, all things considered. Without Goldin on the floor, Ballo is getting every rebound. To cut the deficit at 6 after getting down 17-3 was pretty impressive. If Goldin can stay on the floor in the second half, this could get interesting.

1 for 8 shooting and 1 assist for Boswell. We don't need that

 

[Oranges]

Owls take the lead

 

[abchew2]

FAU feeling it! Arizona missing some gimme’s and they are taking advantage!

 

[Hoopster]

Owls are alive

 

[amillini#2]

FAU with their first lead…fun game to watch

 

[Hoopster]

 

[Illini8420]

FAU is just relentless. They’re smaller but they keep playing the same pace. Arizona looks intimidating with their size and length but it seems like they’re starting to tire.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

An FAU win here would seriously solidify us with a marquee non-conference win. FAU should have 30+ wins going into selection Sunday. Get it done boys! Side note; I love watching those guys play! So tough.

 

[abchew2]

They run for sure, when we played them I was most impressed with their ability to continually push tempo and not show signs of fatigue

 

[azillini1]

FAU making our win over them look good

 

[Scoregasm]

Go FAU!!!

 

[Ryllini]

Did not take Beard long to get Ole Miss going. I can't imagine he is long for Oxford. Keep him out of the B1G unless it is in Champiagn years down the road.

I hope not. Something happened there...you don't choke someone in self defense & regardless of his fiancee recanting (which is common in DV) I hope he never makes his way to C-U, even if he's a helluva coach.

 

[jamarvelous31]

Go FAU!!!

Announcers seem to be rooting for AZ
