UTEP's offense finally woke up. We'll be in a dog-fight for the win in El Paso.

11:18 2H | #FAU 47 - #UTEP 36

ADGER IS on FIRE! The senior has 24 points, including 7 three-pointers. on the flip side, the Miners have only missed two of their last seven.

Frustrating that we haven't been able to put them away.

5:17 2H | #FAU 54 - #UTEP 44

Owls can't shake the Miners, who are shooting an impressive 44% this half.

OWLS WIN!

What a day from Anthony Adger. He'll have to repeat this performance if we'll have a chance against the high-scoring Roadrunners of UTSA.

UPDATED SCHEDULE: 2018-19 Florida Atlantic Men's Basketball Schedule - FAU Owl's Nest

Solid win and a needed one in this final stretch of the schedule.  I guess any chance of 500 in conference depends on the UTSA game and that's going to be tough.  I know we have those other as to be determined games (which I don't really understand how they are decided if someone wants to explain it that would be great) but I think this game will determine if we go 500 in conference which would be an amazing first year for Dusty either way.

As I understand it, teams in top will play teams in top to build their resume for NCAA. Lower teams will play lower teams. ODD TO ME!!!!!!!!!!

Odd, but in 1 and 2-bid leagues this is an attempt to ensure you get that 2nd team in (or 3rd or 4th.. or whatever the borderline is) based on a stronger strength of schedule - at least that is the theory.

I think it will take some time to evaluate if it helps at all, or if it hurts 1-bid leagues.  When an underdog wins the conference tournament and the best team through the season doesn't have as good a record now, my bet is they still don't make the tourney.

Also a higher chance the top teams lose (face it, 1/2 WILL)  instead of getting "quality" wins.
