#FIU kills FAU's momentum with a mini run of their own. Owls are now down 41-31 with 11:50 left

Owls have gone ice cold, converting just 2 of their last 11 FGs. FIU's been on a 20-5 run over the last 7:30. FIU leads 55-36 w/ 6:37 left.

We've hit the last media timeout of the contest. #FIU is still up on the Owls, 61-48 with 3:48 left.

Trapp with another three! The senior guard from Orlando pulls the Owls within 10!

FIU ball-handling was particularly sloppy but we couldn't capitalize.
As an aside:
Crowd max was about 1000 people. Maybe half wearing red. Students have come in wearing other colors, been given red shirts as they walked in, and instead have slung them over their shoulder for the game.
You almost can't be mad at that when FAU has our own guys in WHITE (with red trim) for Bury the Burrow in RED.
Just an overall half-assing of a tradition because there are no consequences.
At least Athletics did a good job hyping up the game on social media.
Rutherford records his fifth steal of the game, Trapp follows with an easy layup to pull FAU within 8! Panthers call a timeout! C'mon Owls!

And that's all folks. Owls fall to FIU yet again, this time with a score of 71-63. FAU hasn't beaten FIU since March 2, 2013.
