Now that's a confidence boosting win right there. Time to take their show on the road though.

excerpt:

..."I think it is (our best performance of the year), just throughout
the whole game," coach Kermit Davis said. "We've had really good parts
of games but I thought just throughout, the intensity of guarding,
that's a hard team to guard.


"It was our best, start to finish."


MTSU
outrebounded, outshot and outhustled the Owls for 40 minutes but it was
a junior college transfer and a 20-2 run early in the second half that
keyed the win.....

MT men dominate FAU in best performance of year

Harris brought out his inner LaRon Dendy......he looked awesome. Thought Buford came in and played well too. Reggie looked better than he has the last several games. FAU was just B-A-D. Had it not been for their one guy hitting some 3's, the score would have looke a whole lot worse.

I don't think FAU is all that bad. They had beaten several decent teams and they have some athletes. That big freshman Turman is going to be a beast if he stays around. Just looked like they gave up when we started clicking.
