I was at the game too. My concern is that the two teams looked pretty evenly matched. FAU has very little inside presence; basically a perimeter oriented team. And, the three point shooting was not very good. May be a long season.Posted On: Oct 29th 2018, 7:43 AM #382672
I really want Ingram to establish himself as a stronger inside presence. He plays more of a finesse-style PF but he is going to be the most experienced big man on the team. He's going to have to diversify his game.
Moreover, this season's growing pains will force us to take note how solid of a center Delph was. We are going to miss his services in the paint.
I was REALLY impressed with Adger's play. I would've like more apples for the team's starting point man, but when was the last time we had a PG put up 30 points? Did Ray Taylor even do that?
Micheal Forrest played like a true freshman in hsi first collegiate game, but the talent is clearly there. It will be exciting to watching him grow at his home town university.Posted On: Oct 31st 2018, 4:45 PM #382715

That's a name I haven't heard of in a while.
I'm interested to see the role PG Anthony Adger will have after his 30-point performance in a preseason exhibition against Lynn. Also excited to see Broward County Player of the Year Michael Forrest play in his first meaningful collegiate game.
The 2018-2019 Season Opener Starting Five:
— FAU Owl's Nest (@FAU_Owls_Nest) November 8, 2018
PG - Anthony Adger
SG - Michael Forrest
SF - Jailyn Ingram
PF - Xavian Stapleton
C - Karlis Silins
Solid looking starting lineup for Dusty May's #FAU Owls!
Adger is continuing to put up points, he has a game-high 13. Stapleton & Ingram lead the Owls with 4 boards a piece. The two forwards are multitasking tonight, as they're second and third on FAU in points with 8 and 6 respectively.
I've been impressed with the sound ball movement, both within halfcourt set plays and on the fastbreak.
We've hit halftime at The Burrow, #FAU leads Florida Tech 40-20.

The opening 20 concludes as Ingram's crossover sends a defender the wrong direction, then attacks the basket with a strong layup.
Owls: 50% FG, 33% 3FG.
Adger: GH 14 PTS.
Stapleton & Ingram: TH 4 Rebs.
Ingram earns himself a double-double thanks to a strong second half performance. I was REALLY impressed with true freshman Kevaughn Ellis' play. He netted 12 points in the short time he saw action. Forrest is still a bit raw, but he made some athletic plays on both side of the ball.
What a start for @CoachDustyMay and @FAU_Hoops! #FAU opens the 2018-19 campaign with a DOMINATING WIN Florida Tech 98-52.

I loved watching both those guys, Ray Taylor and Stefan Moody, play.
Per Wikipedia Moody apparently plays for BC Tsmoki-Minsk of the VTB United League. Entered the 2016 NBA draft, not selected.
