Owls and Blazers are trading early buckets, but #FAU has had two straight turnovers. Need to restrict wasteful possessions.
UAB 7-4, 17:00 1H
Not the start Owl Nation was looking for. #FAU has gone cold, not scoring in over 2 minutes.

UAB 18-16, 8:53 1H.
Blazers with another run, having converted 4 of their last 5 FGs. Owls are trying to get the ball down low to Delph, but he's having an off night so far.

Owls have played poorly at times, but are still within striking distance from the sixth seeds Blazers.

UAB 55 - FAU 36, 15:55 2H.
Owls use a 6-0 run to pull within 15. Pfister with a strong board and put back takes us into our media timeout.

59-44 UAB, 11:41 2H.
Now we're talking! Owls are trying to make this one interesting, now in the midst of a 9-0 run as we hit the final media stoppage of the game.

MBB FINAL

UAB 83 - FAU 72
Blazers bring #FAU's season to a close with a rout in the First Round of the C-USA Tournament. Owls' 2017-2018 season concludes with a 12-19 record; Head Coach Michael Curry's fifth straight season finishing under .500 & without a postseason win.
It's worth noting that Ingram had one of this best games of his young career. Expect for the Owls to rely on him heavily next year, no matter who the head coach is.
