Jaylen Sebree, with a hand in his face and tape all over his ankle, hits a MASSIVE three-pointer, forcing Illinois to call a timeout! The Owls are FEELING it as they go to the huddle.

Owls will go to the line to shoot two once we return from this media timeout. FAU is in the double bonus, while Illinois is a foul a way from entering the double bonus as well.
Owls have made 6 of their last 7 FG attempts.

Illinois's Ayo Dosunmu hits a three-pointer from NBA distance to force an extra session in Champaign.
This is FAU's second OT game of the season. The last came in a losing effort at Arkansas State.

Owls score first in the extra session as Maitre hits a pair of free throws.
Reminder: Both teams are in the double bonus, as the fouls carry over from the second half.

Illinois takes their first lead since early in the second half. Turnovers have killed us today, but we're still in it thanks to some solid play along the boards.
Both teams trade a three, but a Zecevic jumper draw the Owls even.
Illinois only converts the front end of a pair of free throws, but a shot clock violation on Forrest gives Illinois the ball late in overtime.
OWLS WIN! | #FAU 73 - #Iillini 71

Dusty May's shorthanded Owls defeat the perennial BigTen power in one of this week's biggest upsets! Owls will go into #CUSA play 9-4. What a way to end 2018!
Adger - GH 26 Pts
