Owls end the half with a five point lead. It could've been a seven point difference, but the referees wave off Stapleton's put-back at the buzzer.

HALFTIME | #FAU 28 - #LaTech 23

Stapleton sees his put-back at the buzzer called off by the refs. Still a fantastic half for the former Bulldog, as he leads all scorers with 10 points.

Team looks good. Very sloppy though. 

Davian looks confident early, which is good.

No idea how that basket at the buzzer didn’t count.

Burrow atmosphere is real low tonight though.

I think the only thing sloppier is watching LaTech try to penetrate our 2-3 zone.

The red light on the backboard was off by about a quarter of a second. Stapleton just BARELY missed it.

And I'm quite disappointed in the turnout tonight. I know the first waves of exams are this week, but this is still pretty rough. Makes me wonder if the loss to FIU at home has a role in this.

LOOK WHO'S BACK Y'ALL!

Former Head Coach Mike Jarvis is in the house!

Adger is still without any points. If he can get going in the final 20 minutes, then buh-bye Bulldogs.

Team is back in the court. Adger has yet to make his mark on the scoresheet. #FAU can pull away if he is able to get going.

10:00 2H | #FAU 47 - #LaTech 40

Adger and Lepichev are finally on the scoresheet. If they can continue their offensive output, the Owls could pull away.

Looks like we're gonna have a game here folks. Owls are starting to struggle offensively.

7:22 2H | #FAU 51 - #LaTech 47

Silins hits a pair of free throws to extend the Owls' lead back to two possessions. The Bulldogs are clawing back because FAU has only made 2 of their last 10 FGs.

Frustrating that we can't shake these guys.

3:52 2H | #FAU 57 - #LaTech 52

Buckle up #OwlNation, the Owls just can't shake the Bulldogs away. Neither team has scored a FG in over 2:50. Owls are in the double bonus, Bulldogs are one foul away from the double bonus.

FAU's lead was shortened to just a point before the Owls go on a quick 4-0 run.

1:37 2H | #FAU 61 - #LaTech 56

Bulldogs bring the difference to a single point before Forrest hits a GORGEOUS floater. Lepichev then gets his second FG of the contest with a strong layup while getting fouled.

UPDATED SCHEDULE: 2018-19 Florida Atlantic Men's Basketball Schedule - FAU Owl's Nest

GREAT Win!

All despite yet ANOTHER injury - can't believe everything this team has had to endure.

Said it before and will say it again:

R-I-D-C-U-L-O-U-S.

Troopers, and if Coach May keeps the guys on this path he should considered for Coach of the Year given all of the circumstances which were dealt with and overcome.

Go Owls!
