GAME THREAD: FAU @ ODU - January 25, 2020
Ugly start to the second half for the Owls. Certainly doesn't help when #ODU is draining contested shots.

The hosts have converted 6 of their last 8 FGs en route to their largest lead of the night.
Monarchs up, 51-37 over #FAU with 13:45 left in the second half.
Absolutely killer.

Refs hit Scuta Taylor with back to back weak fouls, putting him at four.
He’s going to have to come out while #ODU continues to lead #FAU by double digits in the second half.
Scuta returns to action, but is unable to help #FAU's second half shooting woes.#ODU's offense has finally started to cool down, but the Owls (and their 22% 2H FG) are unable to cut into the lead.

Monarchs lead the Owls 62-52 with a couple of minutes left.
FINAL. #ODU 65 - #FAU 55.

Not our best game.
The Owls (12-9, 4-4), with their lowest point total all year, are unable to comeback against the defending #CUSA Champions.
No time to pout. #OwlNation NEEDS to support these boys next Thurs. against C-USA leading #WKU.
But the points in the paint are a real concern. Silins, Niang, Zecevic, and Kapiti combined for two points. That's not a typo. After a combined 52 minutes, Silins was the only big man to hit the bottom of the net. He left the game around the three minute mark with an apparent back injury
Final #FAU individual & team comparison stats after the Owls' loss to #ODU:

Ingram - 16 Pts (4th straight 10+ game), 7 Rebs
Forrest - 9 Pts, CH 6 Rebs
Taylor - 9 Pts, only Owl with multiple trips to FT line
Owls dominated down low, lost the Reb battle (44-40) & PiP (34-19) pic.twitter.com/9XhTtAOQKa
But we have a great opportunity to get right back in the thick of things with a win over WKU on Thursday at home. No time to pout when the boys have a great opportunity this week. And no time to moan when us fans could help the boys snap this three game skid.
