Men's Basketball Drops 2nd Straight C-USA Contest; Falls to North Texas


The Owls offense tallied their second lowest point showing of the season while falling to North Texas 59-53 on Thursday night. FAU is now 9-11 on the season and 3-5 in Conference USA play.

Both teams got off to a sloppy start, but the Mean Green (11-10, 4-4) led by 10, 25-15, with four minutes left in the first half. The Owls closed the half on a 9-1 run and a Ronald Delph jumper pulled FAU within two, 26-24, at the break.

NT had a 34-28 lead with 14:08 to go in the game. The Owls rallied, led by Anthony Adger, who scored eight straight FAU points, including a jumper that tied the score at 43-43 with 7:43 remaining.

After Adger’s bucket evened the score, the Mean Green answered with a 7-2 run to take a 50-45 lead. The Owls got to within two after a Ronald Delph layup, but couldn’t get any closer and North Texas was able to hang on for the win.

Notables

  • Ronald Delph scored 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for his 12th career double-double.
  • Anthony Adger finished with 14 points, one shy of his career high.
  • Gerdarius Troutman chipped in with 11 points.
