Notables
Florida Atlantic welcomes Middle Tennessee to FAU Arena for the Owls' final contest of the season. FAU is closing out the season on an upswing after posting a 62-59 win over visiting UAB on Thursday night.
Middle Tennessee won the first meeting, 82-58, at the Murphy Center on Jan. 10. The Blue Raiders led wire-to-wire and went up as much as 30 in the second half. A Darnell Harris three-pointer at the 15:03 mark ignited a 17-0 run to put the game out of reach and Harris poured in a career-high 24 points.
Justin Raffington, Kelvin Penn, Brian Hornstein, and Anthony Graves will be honored prior to the tip as members of the outgoing senior class for FAU.

FAU looking disorganized and playing lackluster defense but still in it.
