Nashville is a great town - it's awesome that you guys get to enjoy this special moment in FAU history, keep doing a great job of cheering and building that Owl spirit.

Good Luck Lady Owls!!

And the tradition grows, the people are asking now where you are from but in a few more years they will know ;)

i think my chances of getting the FAU game here in North Carolina are 50/50. It's possible that they will show the Kentucky game here, i guess. If it was football and it was Florida State, it would definitely be on here. Of course the ACC affiliation may have something to do with that here on Tobacco Road.

"NCAA Tournament, First Round" Episode #06002.
Arizona State vs. Stephen F. Austin State, from Tucson, Ariz. or BYU vs. Iowa, from Denver or Florida Atlantic vs. LSU, from Nashville or Kentucky vs. UT-Chattanooga, from Chicago.

So … the game is on and I'm getting MTSU and Utah. What the hell?

I switch to the extra-cost ESPNU and see …. what? …. college lacrosse!

It looks like I can buy the game via DirecTV, but this is really an outrage.

ESPN, you stink!

Well, the game came on 15 minutes late on Channel 210 (DirecTV), not 209 as indicated in the schedule. But at least I can see it now.

FAU looks very shaky and nevous. But the fans seem pretty loud.

Go Owls!

How is it looking at the game. I know FAU is behind but I'm in Big 10 country and am depending on the sports web sites to keep me up on the score.

The FAU fans, band, cheerleaders and dance team are making lots of noise. Of course, ESPN's cameras only zoom in on the LSU fans, band, etc. I swear the conspiracy against the little guy continues even into camera shots. Honestly.

That's a strange arena, with some of the fans lower than the court and the team benches in the end zones. Oddly, I was denied a photo pass (and therefore didn't go) because there would allegedly not be enough spots for me along the strangely set up court (the sidelines are below the playing surface). Photography sports are seriously curtailed by the team benches, cheerleaders and such. Yet, I can count at least eight open rectangles (one per shooter) at this game. (Edit: Later, my daughter counted 14 open shooting positions.) So much for that excuse.

FAU started very shaky and nervous, then ramped it up and led for about half the half. But then the Owls started making awful, rushed - even wild - shots and LSU went on a 20-0 run. FAU was further hurt by numerous steals and poor passes which resulted in LSU fast breaks.

LSU's top shooter - who started hitting everything she fired up - has at least two fouls.

FAU's top shooter, Williams, had only six points just before the half.

But the Owls did try to get it together toward the end of the first half, getting some foul shots and a basket or two. I got the feeling they had made some adjustments and the coach Dugan told the TV crew the half that the Owls would come back in the second half.

Finally, why isn't this game on WLVJ?

LSU leads 35-18 at the half.

I had the game up here until halftime. They're focusing in on the Kentucky game now. I applaud ESPN for switching games. If it was CBS and Duke or UNC winning by 30, I would be stuck with it right up until the end, even if another game was in double overtime.

I just discovered the game audio is on the FAU web site. Go to the game schedule.

someone's band sounds real good!!!! Are both school's band there?

Good game ladies! You gave it your best try.

Looking forward to seeing you at the tournament next year.
