GAME THREAD - FAU vs. FIU - February 17th, 2018
Panthers has the advantage in every major statistical category, but not by much. It was surprising to see the Owls get so dominated on the boards early in the half, but that has since balanced out.
Massey and Pfister are having solid days thus far.

#FIU is not just leading the Owls in points, but also in FG% (53-47) and rebounds (17-16). Granted, those are just small deficits, but #FAU has had some trouble with comebacks at The Burrow.

#FIU races out to an 8-point lead to begin the half, but #FAU is able to claw back thanks to the Panthers missing five straight FGs.
