Cool win for FAU.

I went and saw them live when they played a local commuter school. Lotta guards, couple good bigs. Deep with solid mid-major talent.

Assuming FAU wins, would be a 6-point or 1.5-point underdog in the Sweet 16.

Jeff Capel has more tourney wins this year than Jamie Dixon is going to have in his whole TCU tenure

No, commuter schools will give you that.  MSU has burned plenty of couches for tourney wins during spring break

Is that the smallest combined student population of a second round matchup ever?

Penny Hardaway showing why I think he’ll always accumulate talent but never win big with it.  His bench was chaos the last 5 minutes.  Had two players that had to be separated during a timeout.  The last 30 seconds he wanted to make a substitution but his player didn’t properly check in so he couldn’t enter the game.  Then at the end when Memphis lost he chucks a water bottle across the court.

He also had a kid who followed his coach’s example by picking up a stupid, unnecessary technical earlier in the second half that gave FAU two free points that made a difference in a one point win.

I'm gonna go with Tulsa v Duke in whatever year it was.  Tulsa is the tiniest in football.   That's about a 12,000 -13k student enrollment game.   FAU is north of 30k.

As Marq said, underrating how big some of those random commuter schools get.

So was Xavier.  But Sean Miller has a very low postseason reputation too.  It's clearly not all talent acquisition

Ah, didn't realize that.

Lets go lowest number of season ticket holders?

Unless TCU stages a major comeback.  Then they are tied.

Is UCLA the only PAC 12 team in the 2nd round?
