Season low point total highlights 66-51 fall to George Mason
In the midst of a tough road swing, Florida Atlantic dropped its third straight today in a 66-51 loss to George Mason at the Patriot Center.
The point total was the lowest tallied by the Owls so far on the young season, as Florida Atlantic (3-4) shot a balmy 4-of-17 from long range.
Knotted up in a 7-7 tie, FAU hung close early on but soon went cold thereafter. A Greg Gantt three broke a 3:30 scoring drought for the Owls and trimmed a double digit Patriots margin to 17-10.
“We were never in the game”, said coach Mike Jarvis. “We never made them work, and they had a good time out there today.”

We aren't shooting 3's as well as we should be, that's for sure…
And you still have "adjustments" working themselves out as well - see Ray Taylor for example.

Yes and no, IMO.

Agreed. If we can develop some consistency, we will be fine. I watched both the UF and GM games and it was night and day. Both losses, but the team that played UF can be a factor in the SunBelt. The team that played GM will not.
We know they have the capability. Just need to work on the "adjustments" as you stated.
As far as "the hype" goes (from previous poster). This will be the best Owls team talent-wise to take the court. Keep the hype to a minimum because we have never been that great of a team. So while we are headed in the right direction, nothing should be construed that we are a great team at this point. But I like where Jarvis is headed.

They should fire Jarvis and Howard! :
;D ;D Right on! Get Coach K in here for $175k per year. I bet Urban Meyer would be happy to coach at FAU for $375k. :D
