Niang hits his first bucket of the day, converting a three to end an FAU drought. Ingram looked like a Safety hitting a WR on a short in route as he prepared for a possible rebound. He's lucky to not have gotten an intentional foul there.
Not ONE.

How about this three pointer from Anthony Adger! Owls are back in control, but still looking for control as Ingram now has three fouls. pic.twitter.com/MfQFALO0It

The Bears go on a 7-0 run in the last minute thanks to a pair of Michael Forrest turnovers. A frustrated Dusty May calls a timeout in hopes of settling his young Owls down.

Ingram hits a three to pull the Owls ahead by two possessions, but a weak blocking call allows the Bears to pull back within two points.

It wasn't pretty, but the team got it done the stretch. Ingram is the real deal folks! This is truly his team.

Jailyn Ingram struggles early, but puts THE TEAM ON HIS BACK late en route to his sixth 20+ point game of the young season. Owls are now 7-2 under first year head coach Dusty May. pic.twitter.com/uloPhefl7B
UPDATED SCHEDULE: 2018-19 Florida Atlantic Men's Basketball Schedule - FAU Owl's Nest
Now that there have been multiple situations with this scenario presenting itself, and coming out on top, feeling much more confident.
Only upwards from here it would seem…need to get Xavian Stapleton back in the mix for conference.
Go Owls!
“Overall, (I’m) very pleased that we were able to find a way to win with some defensive effort and rebounding. (Mercer) is a good basketball team, to hold them 2-for-17 from three, we couldn’t be happier with (the way) we followed the gameplan.”
