GAME THREAD: MTSU @ FAU - January 16, 2020
WONDERFUL ball movement gives Maitre an open three, and he drains it!

We're tied at 93 with 1:05 left.
But Ingram just fouled out with a WEAK blocking call! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS REFS!?
And Scuta drains the go-ahead!#FAU leads 95-94 with 30 seconds left.

WOW! What a thriller!!
It sure wasn't easy, but FAU improves to 12-6, 4-1 in #CUSA play, thanks to the players' hard work and the HOME CROWD at The Burrow! pic.twitter.com/7GElnIaMoD

TBH, with how this game went, we were totally expecting for this to go in to force double OT. 🙄😂 pic.twitter.com/yJ9LZeTDFU

Owls were down by 12 with just over five minutes remaining. Then they finally started to play some defense and hit their open shots.
MTSU looked like Marshall of UTSA with how well they shot from three.
