FAU 73 UNT 76

Owls need a clutch 3 to tie it for overtime.

Marquan Botley isn't a stranger to clutch 3-pointers.

Botley takes a three, and it's around and out…

1 second left.

Oh, man.

FINAL

FAU 76 UNT 78

The Owls showed promise offensively in the first half, but couldn't put it together in the second half.

FINAL QUICK STATS

FAU 54.7% FG 42.8% 3P

UNT 56.3% FG 50.0% 3P

Justin Raffington grabs a career 27 points, and 6 rebounds.

Owls only got 7 points from the bench tonight and were 12-of-19 at the line (63.2%)

Kelvin Penn played aggressive in the paint tallying 3 blocks.

FAU won the boards 30-25, but turned the ball over 13 times to that of 7 for UNT.

Another tough loss but wow was that exciting.

FAU has got to do better at the free throw line.

Period.

You just can't rely on structured offense to do all of the scoring, as set plays intentionally get broken up by opponent's hacks, and then you are sending guys there who consistently miss. This obviously results in too many FREE points given away, and has hurt us quite a few times on the year.

I mean (not that he is in this camp) but Bertone missed the first point of the game with no one even around him.

Change the above results to 15-of-19 which is only 78.9% and they win the game.

+1  Also, Justin should not be shooting jump shots, he was extremely effective in the paint and he went away from it missing 3 or 4 jump shots.

Yep. We've been saying that for years.

We totally broke down in the second half. Bad luck, youth, you name it… sunk ourselves there.
