GAME THREAD: UAB @ FAU - January 18, 2020
Speaking of their bigs, UAB is utilizing them with ease down low. Whether by the fast-break, backdoor passes, second chances opportunities, it doesn't matter, they're getting their shots while FAU is struggling to convert.
It’s Maitre again, this time with a little kiss, ending an #FAU drought. He currently has a GH 9 points. #UAB is using their bigs to take a 19-16 lead over the Owls at the 6:30 mark of the first half. pic.twitter.com/SFCposwu8r

Ugly, ugly, ugly end to the half for the Owls, who fail to score in the final four minutes.
HALFTIME. #UAB 29 - #FAU 21.

Tough shooting day for both teams so far, which is further exasperated by the poor three-point shooting: Owls are 2-14, Blazers are 0-6.
Owls fail to score in the final four minutes of the half, finishing with a woeful 27% FG.

Disappointing considering it's a really solid crowd again tonight.

Especially when we're losing the rebounding battle 19-14!
Can't explain it, but UAB seems to ALWAYS give us trouble in the paint.
Scuta gets the second half started with his first FG of the contest!

Ingram drives, kicks out to Scuta, who finds Forrest for an open three.

Owls are FINALLY starting to convert on the three ball, going 4-8 so far this half.
