GAME THREAD: UTEP @ FAU - January 4, 2020
Our FG% was less than 30%, and we lost the rebounding battle. Yet FAU squeaked this out one. I think we stole this one.
But at least we finally finished a half strong! Time to build on this HUGE result!!
Final Stats from #FAU's 59-56 victory over #UTEP ⬇️

Ingram fouled out with the weakest tech, called by a referee a half court away. He had 7 points with a team high 30 minutes. pic.twitter.com/cI8kvKp2Ux
And here's the equalizer from Niang. The and-one gave the Owls the lead for good with 40 seconds left.

What’s our % from beyond the line today? Been pretty bad.
Edit: telecast just said we are 4/24 today from 3pt.Posted On: Jan 4th 2020, 5:42 PM #393194
It wasn't good! It ends 6-28. Silins hitting those back-to-back threes late kept us alive.
🗣️THAT'S OUR COACH & THAT'S OUR AD!

If we can win a few ugly ones this could be a good year.Posted On: Jan 4th 2020, 6:49 PM #393207
Absolutely Dusky! FAU from 2012-2019 would've lost this game. Think about it, when was the last time we won an ugly game that we probably didn't deserve to win?

Not a basketball guy, but we have the right coach in place. He is an up and coming star. Love what he is doing with our team.Posted On: Jan 4th 2020, 9:56 PM #393209
He loves the game, he loves the players, and he loves this program. You can hear it every time he speaks.

Exactly! I wasn’t happy after the FGCU and USF games thinking here we go again but after watching the last few games I really think we have the beginnings of a decent program again. CUSA is a good b-ball conference so we won’t rocket to the top but I would be happy with a upper mid tier.
