TIE BALL GAME!!!!!!! Anthony Adger hits this layup, and will go for the old school three point play for #FAU’s first lead of the contest.

Stapleton gets tagged with his second tech of the game, so he's done. It seemed like Beard received his fifth foul during the same altercation, but he's still on the court as he makes a pair of free throws to tie the game?
LOL #CUSA refs y'all.

The referees get the game ball for the Panthers as their inconsistency dooms the Owls (16-12, 7-9) at The Burrow. Tough loss as Dusty May's boys came back from 16 down to take the lead midway through the second half.

UPDATED SCHEDULE: 2018-19 Florida Atlantic Men's Basketball Schedule - FAU Owl's Nest
These two teams DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER. #FAU and #FIU needed to be separated after a brief scuffle during the postgame handshakes. Owls are clearly frustrated.
