Records fall as FAU moves forward in quest for first round bye in the Sun Belt Tournament

Florida Atlantic (12-10, 8-3) had little trouble finding motivation when taking the court for tonight’s match-up against Florida International (7-17, 4-7).

Two storied figures roamed the sidelines in FAU’s Mike Jarvis, who has taken three teams to the post season, and FIU’s Isiah Thomas, who is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and was Final Four participant as a player.

But what can be said about tonight’s triumph is that last season’s finale against the Panthers, in which FAU was embarrassed 80-53, was avenged thanks to a 106-88 drubbing.

Its pretty crazy that we doubled our output between last year and this, 53 to 106 pts....wow
