great game and great win

Definitely need more work against the press and important to initiate the offense earlier - at least with 15 seconds left.

Our fans need better discipline. They were chanting overrated when the game was far, far from over. I think it motivated FAU. 

Haha let them have fun. We can't "act like we've been here before" cause most of those fans haven't.

Agreed.  That was dumb.  To their credit it was probably the first basketball game for many of them.

This is why this team is different. Past USF teams would have lost that game. 

Agreed. There is as much to be learned by holding of that comeback as there was in the Memphis comeback. It was pretty easy to roll over at that point and we actually refused to stay on the mat just long enough at the end. That’s not mentally easy and it will be easier next time.

Yes, I agree. I think chanting overrated at all is crap, but specially with like 9 minutes left. That was close and we almost lost.

That overrated chant scared the life out of me because that's when FAU went on their run. I'm so glad this isn't a typical USF story.

Yeah.  Have not sold out the arena since 2001. We've mostly not been good since that time with a few blips along the way but this team has stirred excitement for the first time in a long team.

Wonderful thing is it seems we hit on both coaching hires for basketball and football.  A couple more seasons will prove it - hopefully they both stay for a bit.

I agree, that was character building.  The freshman started to pul the string at the line, easy for the team to choke in that position but held on.  Will be better for this.

If you're up by 20 with 4 minutes left, you might be able to start thinking about a chant like that.
