Bad news: Coach May says FAU's next opponent, UAB, plays a lot like Middle.
#FAU's @CoachDustyMay on playing #UAB following the Owls' loss to #MTSU: "We'll have to control the paint much better and we have to take care of the basketball."

FAU Basketball is back at it again today, this time against arguably the best team in the conference
Still, Owls are going small against the longer arms of UAB.
Blazers lead 8-2 at the 15:17 mark of the opening half.
#UAB's Quan Jackson is ALREADY in double digits, but @martin_alijah is getting started as he drains #FAU's first three of the afternoon!
