Both teams looking evenly matched so far here at The Burrow, with each team shooting 37% from the field. Look for FAU to try to get C Karlis Silins going in the second half, the talented big has yet to make a big mark on this game.

HALFTIME. #UIC 37 - #FAU 35.

Owls see their lead slip right through their fingers in the waning moments of the first half.

Neither side is playing pretty basketball in this gritty affair.

Michael Forrest has a team-high 7 points.

Oh man, we could be headed for another close finish. Hopefully this one ends different than the FGCU game.

#FAU is truly in the middle of a dogfight with #UIC. Owls are down 58-57 with 7:32 remaining.

While the Owls haven't scored a FG in the last 5:45 of play, Scooter Taylor showed some beautiful moves to set up an assist to Jailyn Ingram. pic.twitter.com/QQpV6nqTFB

Less than 4 minutes now, and Scooter draws us even. We've had two chances to take the lead, but bad takes and poor turnovers have prevented that.

We've hit our final media stoppage of the contest.#FAU ties #UIC at 64 a piece thanks to a pair of Scooter Taylor freebies.

It'll be Flames' ball with 3:39 remaining.

We're tied! Ingram hits a three from the right to draw us level! He's now at 10 for his first double digit point total since his injury last season.

THAT A BOY JAILYN!

Jailyn Ingram hits a three to bring #FAU level with #UIC at 70 with 1:00 remaining.

Scooter Taylor missed a fadeaway with a few second left, but Silins gets fouled after attempting the put-back.

And he converts one of two free throws! WE LEAD LATE!

OWLS LEAD!

With one second left, Silins hits a free throw to put #FAU ahead of #UIC 71-70.

Yes sir, 8 PM (ish).

It's tough to pin down because it'll be the final game of the Boca Raton Beach Classic. You know how the final two minutes of game-time can last 20 minutes in some games. So if that happens just once, we could be pushed back. We'll try our best to keep y'all updated.

Head Coach Dusty May on tomorrow's possible opponents:

"We've seen St. Bonaventure before. The Bonnies are always a physical team, although they're a bit younger than they normally are.

I'm not too up-to-speed with San Diego, but they were a top-100 team last year.

Either way, you have to love these situations. We do this event to hopefully prepare us for a conference tournament. Playing back-to-back nights against different styles of offenses."

I could list to Dusty talk basketball all day. He loves the game and he loves this job.
