Otherwise, the Vols seemed to spend every trip trying to figure out how to intimidate Florida Atlantic into backing down. Meanwhile, the Owls had about six or eight guards on the floor throwing in three-pointers or slashing for pretty bank shots high off the glass. And their big kid--who had remarked before the game that Tennessee appeared in the films to sometimes play dirty--just simply ignored or absorbed all of the Vols' ploys and drew a bunch of fouls.<br /><br />Florida Atlantic beat WKU by 14, seven and, then in the first round of the Conf-USA tournament, by 24. Then the Owls beat Middle Tennessee State and Alabama-Birmingham in the semifinals and finals of the conference tournament to advance. They went 18-2 in the league. Now they're 34-3 and winners of 10 in a row. I'll be rooting for Florida Atlantic against Kansas State on Saturday.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-81361495057959255892023-03-24T06:31:04.639-04:002023-03-24T06:31:04.639-04:00Just a total delight.Just a total delight.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-45143976487809447352023-03-24T06:29:42.802-04:002023-03-24T06:29:42.802-04:00Stunned to learn this result.
