Notables

After completing a historic effort which saw them produce a program best 4th straight winning regular season record, the Owls will enjoy the first day of the 2022 C-USA Championship from the sidelines while scouting the opposition.

Their eventual opponent will be familiar as they will face the winner of the No. 6 UTSA vs No. 7 Southern Miss contest on Tuesday night. FAU was victorious over both teams earlier in the year, producing a 73-64 road win against the Roadrunners before downing the Golden Eagles in Boca Raton 84-57 in a lopsided affair.

The Owls endured a four game skid from mid-to-latter February while playing a trio of the leagues higher seeds (WKU, North Texas, MTSU), however righted the ship with a three game win streak to close out the schedule. Two of the victories came over rival FIU.



Florida Atlantic has just one win in the C-USA Championship since joining, a 66-56 victory over Old Dominion in 2020. However, a potential further run was negated as the remainder of the slate was cancelled due to the emergence of COVID onto the scene of both the NCAA and global landscape.

3/08/14 vs Marshall L 63-59
3/09/16 vs Old Dominion L 72-46
3/08/17 vs Marshall L 89-74
3/07/18 vs UAB L 83-72
3/13/19 vs La Tech L 57-56
3/11/20 vs Old Dominion W 66-56
3/11/21 vs La Tech L 75-69

The team will land in Frisco this year in the middle of the pack in most league statistical categories overall, but does enjoy higher notches in defensive rebounds (2nd), rebounding margin (2nd), three point baskets per contest (3rd), and steals (5th).

Guard Michael Forrest takes the 6th ranking in both three point percentage, and threes per outing as well.

Opening Line: TBD/TBA

Think so odd we are 3 seed when we split with WKU, we won by 9 but lost by 7. Obviously not a consideration in head-to-head meetings. Dumb.

We've reached the half from The Star at Frisco.

Owls were shooting hot as can be until about the final four minutes of the half. In fact, FAU's lead reached double digits before a 6-0 swing the other way.
