Another plausbily live broadcast so Malcolm can also call softball if this game doesn't go OT.

In other seasons I might have gotten upset at this, but not so much this year.

Tech is 0-5 against the current top 5 in the conference that would get first round byes in Frisco if the tournament started today. Bad news is that means 5 of Tech's last 7 games are against that same group.

[FriscoDawg]

Good start up 17-9, but the sloppy play is starting to kick in again on schedule.

Hester talks constantly about valuing the basketball, and the more he talks about it the less it seems to matter.

[FriscoDawg]

41-41 at the half.

FAU wins the first 10 minutes of the second half 18-9. Going to be tough now, but nothing that was unexpected.

Extended to a 24-4 FAU run after Tech scored the first 5 points of the second half.

Tech sucks. Turnover machine.

[FriscoDawg]

26-11 Tech run ties it at 76 with 33.4 left.

FAU misses and can't tip the mis in. OT.

[FriscoDawg]

Tech sucks. Turnover machine.

Amazing how bad Tech is when it turns the ball over and how good it can be when it doesn't.

Another game coming up short. FAU 90-85 in OT.

CUSA 4.0 schools are bolded. The rest will be moving to the AAC. Enuff said.

Don’t forget to add NMSU who just canceled the rest of their season.

Don’t forget to add NMSU who just canceled the rest of their season.

Also don't forget Liberty and Sam Houston that are currently 47 and 58 in the NET rankings.

It should be on the table to reconsider NMSU (was 187 in the NET) joining the conference next year. That school needs time to get its act together first. At a minimum men's basketball should not be allowed to play for a conference championship next year.

The latter should be 100% in play
