A reminder, that like every season, ALL FAU Men's Basketball games can be heard on ESPN 106.3 FM and will be streamed at FAUSports.com. Home games will feature a video stream with the FAU radio call underneath it.
Tonight's game is an 8p tip, radio coverage on ESPN 106.3 FM begins at 7:45p.
As always, feel free to get ahold of me (@KLV1063, [email protected]) w/ any questions, clarifications, feedback, general FAU discussion.
Go Owls!
