Opposing teams have figured out we can't defend the back-door oop.

FIU has ran it at least five times today.

There it is! Martin hits his career mark after scoring 9 straight points to start the second half! The kid is on fire!

Why are y'all leaving this man so open!? Just like that, @martin_alijah has a new career-high in points.. and there's still 12 minutes left to play! 😲#FAU leads #FIU 61-44. pic.twitter.com/riIteQamnT

Make that 10.

WOW… this game has turned on it's head!

Sooo uhhh.. #FAU hasn't scored in over three minutes while #FIU has made four straight.

Just like that, the Owls' lead is cut to 67-64 with 5:07 left. 😬

2 point game here at the arena.

Place is L-O-U-D.

FIU just missed a HUGE FT

Martin drove down and sent for the throw down.

OWLS WIN!

FIU got as close as two points from FAU's lead, but the Owls held strong to finish the regular season with a win.

OWLS WIN! | #FAU 84 - #FIU 76

And exhale... That's a Senior Day DUB for the Owls who win their FOURTH STRAIGHT over the Panthers!

FAU finishes the regular season 18-13 (11-7)

UPDATED SCHEDULE: HERE

Final Stats from FAU's Senior Day victory over the Panthers!

Peep Martin's CAREER DAY. No sophomore slump for this kid!

All eyes now turn to WKU's game with Marshall. The Hilltoppers hold a 53-44 lead over the Herd with ten minutes left.

So here's the deal... As of RIGHT NOW, #FAU holds #CUSA East Division's #2 seed, which would give the Owls a DOUBLE BYE straight into the Quarterfinals.

BUT.. if #WKU beats #Marshall today, then the Owls will only get one bye and face the winner of Marshall vs. FIU in Round 2 pic.twitter.com/uufa2eZrP1

FAU got outscored in the 2nd half. Looks like FAU really cooled off and FIU got hot. Good win though.
I was hoping for a 20 win regular season. Almost got there.
