ODU is shooting 60% so far this half, including draining 6 three pointers.

Ugly start to the second half for the Owls. Certainly doesn't help when #ODU is draining contested shots.

The hosts have converted 6 of their last 8 FGs en route to their largest lead of the night.

Monarchs up, 51-37 over #FAU with 13:45 left in the second half.

It's not good when your best shooter is forced to sit, when the team is already having a poor shooting night.

Absolutely killer.

Refs hit Scuta Taylor with back to back weak fouls, putting him at four.

He’s going to have to come out while #ODU continues to lead #FAU by double digits in the second half.

Uhg, it's just not our night. ODU us just flat out beating FAU tonight. Reminds me of the loss at UNT and Alabama earlier this year.

Scuta returns to action, but is unable to help #FAU's second half shooting woes.#ODU's offense has finally started to cool down, but the Owls (and their 22% 2H FG) are unable to cut into the lead.

Monarchs lead the Owls 62-52 with a couple of minutes left.

We suck again.

FINAL. ODU overpowers FAU, 65-55.

FINAL. #ODU 65 - #FAU 55.

Not our best game.

The Owls (12-9, 4-4), with their lowest point total all year, are unable to comeback against the defending #CUSA Champions.

No time to pout. #OwlNation NEEDS to support these boys next Thurs. against C-USA leading #WKU.

Despite having the conference's top rebounder, we only collected for less boards than ODU.

But the points in the paint are a real concern. Silins, Niang, Zecevic, and Kapiti combined for two points. That's not a typo. After a combined 52 minutes, Silins was the only big man to hit the bottom of the net. He left the game around the three minute mark with an apparent back injury

Final #FAU individual & team comparison stats after the Owls' loss to #ODU:

Ingram - 16 Pts (4th straight 10+ game), 7 Rebs

Forrest - 9 Pts, CH 6 Rebs

Taylor - 9 Pts, only Owl with multiple trips to FT line

Yep…

My dinner:

Okay, this road trip sucked. No nice way to put it.

But we have a great opportunity to get right back in the thick of things with a win over WKU on Thursday at home. No time to pout when the boys have a great opportunity this week. And no time to moan when us fans could help the boys snap this three game skid.
