Actually, FAU came all the way back from being down 9-2. nice to go 2-0 against Miami on the season.

Crazy comeback last night in Miami. We had to listen to these fans **** talk for most of the game and it was a sweet ending. But, I probably shouldn't have gone out after the game to celebrate; it was a struggle waking up this morning for work. Lol. The 3rd game of the series is at Miami in two weeks.

Next up is at home against Southern Miss on Friday at 6:30 p.m. It's an important series for both of us.

Btw, congrats to Charlotte on a massive win against Arkansas.

6-3 Charlotte

With a combo of things along with the 4-2 record on the night CUSA moved into 11th and next up to pass (but won't be this weekend or next just yet) is the Big 10 who currently has 7 teams in the top 100 along with the Missouri Valley who is .0004 points ahead of the Big 10. The MVC are all playing OOC games this weekend so we need them to lose more than they win (captain obvious, I know). The key for us picking up ground on the Big 10 this weekend is they have 3 teams playing OOC series while the rest are conference games:

Purdue (115) host Lipscomb (236)
Maryland (106) host Stetson (42)
Ohio St (28) host Georgetown (289)

8 West Coast .5221
9 MVC .5216
10 Big Ten .5212
11 CUSA .5093

according to Warren Nolan, Tech is #1 in Defense (runs per game) at 2.5
