In a closely fought basketball encounter, Florida Atlantic University (FAU) emerged victorious over East Carolina University (ECU) with a final score of 79-64. The game's outcome was in the balance until the last 4:30, when FAU surged ahead with a 14-1 run during what was described as 'garbage time'. ECU's offense stalled in the closing minutes, contributing only one point in the final five minutes. FAU also narrowly missed what was nearly the greatest last-second play, falling just six inches short. Separately, there was commentary suggesting Florida State (FSU) would have had a much stronger showing, with one prediction that FSU would have scored 35 points and another bold claim that FSU would have beaten Michigan by 40 points.
I still say Florida State would've beaten Michigan by 40.
FSU would’ve won this game
Florida State would have scored 35 . https://t.co/UCQ8d9KLKT
FAU lost but they came about six inches away from the greatest last second play I've ever seen.
Deceptive final score to Florida Atlantic/East Carolina. It was a 2 point game with 4:30 to go. FAU finished on a 14-1 run, much of it garbage time.
FAU wins 79-64. ECU had a shot at one point, but scored just one point in the final five minutes.
