Penn having a solid game here…after fouling out against Ave Maria in limited minutes, he's got 9 boards, 4 blocks, and 2 assists.

Come on OC40, I know you. You are a smart guy.  Do you think we can compete with a Final 4 Team?

Everybody knows the score…what they may not know is what is happening in areas critical to putting up a decent showing against teams that are not ranked #4 in the country.

Post your thoughts, and we'll post ours.

FINAL

FAU 64  Duke 97

The Owls finished with three players scoring in double digits:

Bertone 17 points, Raffington 14 points, Morrow 11 points.

QUICK STATS:

FAU 37.1% FG, 26.7% 3PT

Duke 54.8% FG, 52.2% 3PT

Glass 41-28 Blue Devils, but Owls take blocks 5-3. Kelvin Penn with 4.

Owls with 14 turnovers, which is one less than St. Francis forced.

FAU had 10 dishes to that of 18 for the Blue Devils.

OFFICIAL BOX SCORE:

Why does FAU have so many harsh "fans" with totally unrealistic expectations. Duke and FAU recruit at levels worlds apart in BB just like we and UM are worlds apart in FB.

Duke just signed two of the top 5 HS recruits in the NATION and our guys are suppossed to magically AND REGULARLY beat these types of teams based on what? Yes an upset would ne nice, but ya gotta be realistic too guys!

AS long as the team works and plays hard is all we can ask IMHO.

Why would you expect anything else from him.  He is ridiculous in his expectations.

Very true.

Here is a link to an AP article on the Duke game with pics;

They have not lost a non-conference game at home for 13 years! Good to get to play them and hopefully set our goals to be like them in the future.
