The fact is, we played 7 guys last night, 3 of our guys had 40+ minutes and we only played with 1 PG the entire game. Basketball can be totally situational and we were exposed last night due to our weaknesses, we didn't lose because they guys gave up, or we choked, WKU knew that we were down to Botley running the point, why do you think they ran the press the entire game? he was gassed and cramping with 7 mins left, there are only so many sprints you can make up court. We live in foul trouble already, being down Raffington is a MASSIVE hindrance and when Penn fouled out, CJ was riding 4, he HAS to play Fant soft for the final 3 minutes bc we can't lose him, there is no other option. Fant gets them the lead and we go down and waste two possessions in the final minute of regulation before tying it.
If we are healthy, Raff plays, we win that game, period. Johnson is a great PG as well, if we can cycle him with Bot once he's back, we're laughing. There is such a lack of depth right now that when we lose two guys we are totally handicapped.
The big coaching question weighing over our heads today…what do we do with Poole? That freaking guy is going to kill me. I wonder if he knows that there are 4 other guys out there with him?

Like FAU itself this board is a diverse mix of anonymous people, some clearly in their early 20's mixing with others that may be in their 50-60s. Our expectations, patience and aspirations for the FAU teams are different. What we expect from each other is different too, snapping at people because they're not a fan of every sport or because they haven't attended as many home games as we have… that's all sports brainwashing nonsense. You get up every day and make decisions about how you spend your time and money. People on the Owl's Nest don't make those decisions for you.
We're here every day because in this moment we still care about the product that FAU puts out. That's all it is, in whatever form it presents itself.

Wonderful game. Well coached. Well played. Our guys played hard. We are very very close to winning this kind of game. Nice job of game management by our coach. Nice crowd but a lot of them were WKU fans. They had great support from their followers. This team reminds me of football . 0-4 but could be 2-2. BUT WE ARE 0-4. Dang !Posted On: Jan 15th 2015, 9:27 PM #340858

So what do we do about Poole?Posted On: Jan 16th 2015, 5:17 PM #340889
Coach has to step in and tame the lion.
Guy has a ferocious spirit, but too much is too much sometimes.
