Let's #GoOwls! 👌
Owls are shooting 56.3% from the floor and are led by Inrgam's game high 7 points.
Owls extend the lead to 29-16 over the Eagles, as they stay hot. A 13-7 edge off the glass and 7 steals also helping matters along nicely. 💪
Owls on the way to arguably their best overall half of the season up 40-24. FAU defensive pressure proving too much for a flat Eagles squad.
The Owls are BULLDOZING Dunk City!
Stapleton leads Florida Atlantic with 12 points. Silins & Ingram add 7 each, and Adger & Forrest pitch in 5 a piece.
Rebounding edge is 23-12 for the Owls 💪💪💪
A 17-10 run by the Eagles cuts into the Owl lead a bit but they are still out in front by double-digits.

And, Yes, this team is for real. Look at the edge off glass.
