Owls see their lead slip away thanks to back-to-back turnovers.

15:15 2H | #Marshall 58 - #FAU 55

Adger nets eight points in the first three minutes of the second half, which gave the Owls a brief lead. But another three from MU's CJ Burks puts the host back on top. He has a game high 20 points.

Owls haven't scored in over two minutes of game time. Meanwhile MU hasn't missed a FG in their last five attempts.

13:48 2H | #Marshall 62 - #FAU 55

Marshall is doing a good job of smothering FAU's guards in the corner along the endline. We've had four Owl turnovers in the last four minutes because of the Herd's swarming defense.

Oof, FAU's play wasn't much better coming out of the media stoppage. May calls a timeout to regroup his boys.

12:56 2H | #Marshall 66 - #FAU 55

Dusty May has one of his players call a timeout as the Herd are amidst a 13-0 run over the last two minutes. Owls are seeing this game slip away...

Yep, the game is certainly getting away from us. Owls keep getting called for fouls as Marshall enters the offensive zone.

8:08 2H | #Marshall 78 - #FAU 64

Owls are letting this game slip away. The Herd have converted 8 of their last 10 FGs, while the Owls have made 1 of their last 7 FGs. Moreover, the last five points scored came from Marshall free throws. Owls just can't seem to catch a break.

Don't see the Owls coming back in this one. We'll need somebody other than Adger or Forrest to start hitting their threes this half.

3:59 2H | #Marshall 83 - #FAU 72

Owls briefly pull as close as 8, but the Thundering Herd aren't missing many shots this half. Their 54.2% second half FG is killer.

Forrest is getting hot again!

MIKE FORREST TWO STRAIGHT THREES!

Owls are down five with 1:50 remaining.

UHG, this travel call HURTS. That could be the dagger in the Owls.

:51 2H | #Marshall 88 - #FAU 82

Lepichev gets called for a travel after he gets kneed in the back of the leg.

Owls did a solid job of fouling the Herd when needed, but it's nearly impossibly to comeback when MU keeps hitting their freebies.

FINAL | #Marshall 96 - #FAU 84

Despite a solid effort, the Owls (11-7, 2-3) are unable to upset the defending #CUSA Champs. The final three minutes were much closer than the score would indicate.

Forrest - Career High 32 Pts.
Zecevic - 13 Pts, 10 Rebs.

NEXT: @ WKU, Sat. 4 PM

I mean, every time we turn around a needed guy is going down…

At this point it is beyond R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.

Also, having nine guys to be able to play is NOT a good thing.

Feel for Coach May, despite having to turn the roster over in the off-season he had a line-up (until all of the injuries mounted) that would have had us in every single game.

Doing the best we can at this point…every time he asks someone else to step up they have.

Forrest scoring 32??

C'mon.

Time to catch a break!

What a day for Michael Forrest. His 32 points is a career high.

What a banner day for the young Michael Forrest. His future at #FAU is BRIGHT! pic.twitter.com/58BozwG9lE
