GAME THREAD: FAU @ MTSU - January 5, 2019
FG: FAU 24%, MTSU 54%
Rebs: FAU 17, MTSU 24
Turnovers FAU 4, MTSU 13
The Blue Raiders are one of the worst teams in the nation when it comes to turning the ball over, and the Owls have done a solid job of limiting their own mistakes. If FAU can find a way to get some boards, then this Blue Raider lead could collapse… fast.

In the final three minutes of the half, the Owls use a 13-2 run to pull within 4. But MTSU hits a half court buzzer-beater, extending their lead back to three possessions.
Owls are shooting 24% FG, compared to MTSU's 54%.
Adger - GH 17 pts

Owls STORM out of the half, converting three straight FGs! Both teams have gone cold since then. Blue Raiders have yet to make a FG this half, Owls haven't scored in over three minutes.
Silins with the put-back and the OWLS LEAD for the first time tonight!

Despite only converting 2 out of their last 11 FGs, the Owls lead in Murfreesboro! Thanks in part to Middle Tennessee failing to make a single FG yet this half, while turning the ball over 6 times in the last 5 minutes.

Blue Raiders regain the lead with a 7-0 run. Dusty May calls a timeout so the Owls can regroup.

Adger converts a layup to pull the Owls back within two possessions, ending a 13-2 Blue Raider run. Owls are really struggling to hit the three ball.
Which Owl team will finish the contest?

The Owls retake the lead thanks to an 8-0 run! Looks like FAU will have another close finish on the road.

Both sides trade three-pointers after an MTSU free throw to tie it up. Adger just matched his career high in points with 27.
He signed Adger.
