 That was a good team (96-97). I remember the FIU game that year had a great atmosphere. We were this close to rushing the court that game but didn't.

Here's the link to the game story for the FIU game - it was crazy!

We passed the ball the length of the court with very little time left for a wide open lay-up by Tremayne Hunter…

That was a great game…think I still have it on tape…will try and pull it out and post some footage.

Wow! Yes, if you could do that – that would be awesome. I distinctly remember where I was sitting – may have been the best basketball atmosphere in my time there. I'm pretty sure I remember us all going nuts after the long pass.

FAU got out to a 12-5 lead seven minutes into the game, before the Blue Raiders (11-4, 3-0) rallied to tie the score at 14 just over three minutes later.

The Owls scored six unanswered points to take a 35-29 lead into the locker room at halftime.

There were three ties and five lead changes in the second half with the final being a 48-48 deadlock with 6:11 remaining in the game.

Middle Tennessee went up by as many as seven before the Owls were able to pull to within two with 13 seconds remaining. Howeever, the Blue Raiders made a pair of free throws and FAU was unable to score any further.

Big win against UTSA tonight. Felt like the season was slipping away with those two close early losses but it looks like we’ve righted the ship

It sure shows some improvement, winning two road games over, granted NOT conference powers, but they DO have 16 wins so far between them. Let's hope for a competitive team this year at least!

Yeah everybody has their own measure for what constitutes a turn-around. I think we just got lucky. Each year we have a win or two that makes us think we've righted the ship but then it falls right back down. We're a house of cards.

Exactly.  We patched a few holes for a minute.

This baby is taking on water…only a matter of time.

MBB notches third straight C-USA win with 75-64 victory over UNC Charlotte


The Owls now own a 3-2 edge over the 49ers overall with the win. Old Dominion (14-4, 5-1) will prove to be a test on Saturday with their following trio of games are all winnable contests.

Good win and a nice stretch for the Owls.  Saturday against a good ODU team should provide a true test of just how improved this team is.

Owls have won three straight, quietly putting themselves in the middle of the conference table. Old Dominion will pay a visit to The Burrow for a 2 PM tip. The Monarchs are the best team in CUSA that nobody seems to be talking about.

This game can either go two ways: We get the Owls Basketball team that played UAB and Minnesota, and get chased off the court, or we play the way we did at UTEP and UTSA, and force ODU to earn it with a minute left.
