Norwell the (midget) as some of you call him has 42 assists through 3 games and averaging 21 a game. Does FAU pack in a zone?

 

[Anon1629994708]

Gotta go with FAU the team that took out UTHUG

 

[ScottGreene22]

FAU starting 4 guards and K-State doing the same. CCC take notes

 

[ScottGreene22]

7-7 early on up and down action Norwell yet to get going

Our moron is determined to prove he can win playing 2-3 bigs but we’re just going to keep getting spanked.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

I always find it funny how teams like Kansas state, who play extremely agressive and physical defense, when they get beat they flop and try to get bait calls from the refs

 

[ScottGreene22]

Good game 2 evenly matched teams so far

 

[rick64]

Go FAU!!

 

[jameslee32]

Looks like the Owls aren't going anywhere without a fight.

 

[TortElvisII]

Sirmons and Shows must have been there in case we won.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

How the hell is that not a foul on Kansas state he fricking threw the FAU player to the ground

 

[ScottGreene22]

Norwell worth the price of admission

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

And then nowell barely gets touched and it’s a foul

 

[LmdCat]

They should stop talking about Nowell's ankle. I didn't think it was that bad when he continued playing Thursday. Based on his movement, you can clearly see that there is nothing wrong with it.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Ok. That referee that just called the hook needs to be in the SEC. In the SEC that crap happens half a dozen times a game and is never called and Im not talking about just against UK. In general. Happens way too much.

If FAU look at him they call a foul.

 

[jessieshorts8]

The refs are confused by the Kansas name so they are getting the usual Jayhawk whistle.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Foul on FAU for getting to a loose ball before Kansas state

 

[hotelblue]

Foul on FAU for getting to a loose ball before Kansas state

refs are all in on ksu. have seen several quick/bad whistles against fau in just 5 minutes.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Sills is struggling rn

 

[mhroe1984]

Why don't any of these teams have multiple bigs on the floor who can't shoot? Why don't they shoot the efficient long 2s just inside the 3-point line? Where is the slow-down, stand-around offense that leads to the prayer at the shot clock?? Why are these teams not playing like this????

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

refs are all in on ksu. have seen several quick/bad whistles against fau in just 5 minutes.

Nowell has gotten two foul calls where the fau player never touched him, and also FAU has gotten 3 loose ball fouls for being quickier to the ball

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Calling a quick jump ball mustve been a point of emphasis in this tournament from the jump because Ive seen a lot of quick ones.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Norwell 15 points 6 assists should be 7 is a pretty good half

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I must break you

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

May called a good play call out of the timeout instead of just lobbing it in the corner to his power forward, must be nice

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Vlad said, I must break you! after that block

 

[mhroe1984]

May called a good play call out of the timeout instead of just lobbing it in the corner to his power forward, must be nice

Why would any coach wanna try to run an inbound play from under the basket. Takes way too much effort to draw them up.

 

[TortElvisII]

FAU is cheating. You are supposed to play 5 guys that can't score in last minute of first half to turn a lead into a deficit. Its the Little House on the Prairie way.

 

[Anon1658882690]

Didn't know that Norwell went to grade school one year here in Knott Co at Cordia in 7th grade..

 

[Crawfords Corner]

That looked like UK defense on that last possession

 

[bluedog79]

Quit letting Kansas State steal the ball like 15,000 times and this game's over. The only thing to save Kansas state was stealing the ball.

If all is the same minus the turnovers in the second half Florida Atlantic will win this game by 10 plus

 

[ScottGreene22]

Johnson sat out most of the first half with 2 fouls. K-State wins if he gets going the 2nd

 

[LmdCat]

Didn't know that Norwell went to grade school one year here in Knott Co at Cordia in 7th grade..

Considering his size, it is understandable how he might have been overlooked.

 

[TortElvisII]

Does anyone else absolutely have to go outside or turn the channel at halftime? I can't stand the halftimes.

 

[Anon1658882690]

Was about time Rod was coaching Cordia.. He brought in lots of New Yorkers..

 

[TortElvisII]

FAU flops a lot.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Phantom foul on FAU!

 

[TortElvisII]

KSU also flops a lot.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Players sure do whine a lot these days.
