Not many teams you can shoot 1-of-9 from 3 PT and be leading by double-digits!

Thankfully, 1. The threes are starting to finally connect, and 2. MTSU is bad.
We're getting hot at the right time!

Quick Hits
- A trio of Owls scored in double digits, but none scored more than Karlis Silins. The Latvian's 15 points was good to secure his eighth straight double digit outing.
- Guards Michael Forrest and Kenan Blackshear were not far behind with 14 and 11 points, respectively.
- It was also a trio of guards who paced the Owls in rebounding. Forrest, BJ Greenlee, and Johnell Davis finished tied with a team-high six boards.
- The offense looked stressed against MTSU's 1-3-1 zone, but the passing remained smooth, limiting turnovers and finding open shots.
- Head Coach Dusty May said he hopes his team will continue to carry their positive play into the C-USA Tournament, "but we're focused on giving our fans a win tomorrow."
UPDATED SCHEDULE: HERE

I had higher hopes for Winchester. Silins quietly bounced back this year. I personally thought he’d put up better numbers given his talent and size but he was OK.
I think Ingram leaving leaves John Mitchell as the only player left from the three main sports who saw sizable action when I first started covering FAU in 2016. And Ingram is also the last holdover from the Michael Curry era. 😩
Aggressive defense ➡️ Easy offense @kbuckets11 drains this jumper for his ninth point of the game. He has now scored more than than the entire Blue Raider team.#FAU leads #MTSU, 26-8 | 9:20 1H pic.twitter.com/zdCrrOXNDD
