Owls are shooting 33% this half, including going 0-1 from the three point arch. We've now shot 1-8 from the arch this game. Time for Troutman, Massey, Filler, and Cylla to start taking some threes.

Middle Tenn. have made 5-6 FGs, good for 83% this half. Tough to comeback when MT shoots like that.

Blue Raiders lead 55-43 w/ 15:50 left.

Game is really starting to get out of hand. Almost halfway point of the second half, and Middle Tennessee is shooting 75% compared to FAU's 27.3%

Blue Raiders now on a 15-0 run over 4:45 & a 22-3 run over 6:18. Owls are on a FIVE MINUTE LONG DROUGHT. 😶😶😶😶

MT leads 66-43 w/ 11:43 left.

It hasn't gotten any better. Middle Tennessee won't pull their starters despite the game being in hand. I don't blame them, they're fighting for a potential at-large bid just in case they fall in the tournament.

Blue Raiders are coasting along at this point. #MTSU leads #FAU 80-56 with 5:44 remaining.

Yeah, this is much more along the lines of what I thought it would end up being like…

MTSU could make it to the Sweet 16 this year - they are good.

That's all she wrote. Owls take a big loss to the hands of one of the best mid major teams in the nation.

FAU MBB ends the 2016-2017 regular season 10-19 overall & 6-12 in conference. Owls will be the #11 seed and most likely take on UAB in the first round of the CUSA Tournament.

Final: Owls conclude the regular season with a 93-59 loss to CUSA's top team, Middle Tennessee. #FAU final regular season record is 10-19.

Not a good day for FAU sports teams.

The #11 Owls will face #6 Marshall on Wednesday in the 2017 C-USA Tournament with a start time still TBD.

Time is in, 9:00 PM EST…

Ouch.

Is the time going to affect us more than Marshall ?
