Maite gets the second half started with this beauty of a bucket, but FAU hasn't scored an FG since. UNT now amidst a 6-0 run over the 1:15.

A beautiful bucket by Maitre to start the second half, but it's been all #UNT since then.

Owls have missed 5 straight FGs, kindling an #FAU drought spanning over three minutes.

It's definitely one of the best in the league, but it's too big for it's own good. FWIW, ODU has the best arena in C-USA.

Scuta just doesn't have it tonight. He's currently 1-10, including 0-3 from three.

Forrest drops two straight as FAU switches to a full court press defensively.

Mike Forrest finds a lane, and attacks, for his second straight bucket!

Looks like he's starting to heat up. #FAU could sure use one of his 🔥Forrest Fires🔥 right about now.#UNT leads the Owls 48-38, 11:20 left in the contest. pic.twitter.com/CIpqmkFR4f

The lack of a legit rim protector is clear today. 

Jeez Owls can't get anything going today. It's been all Mean Green this half.

It's not gonna happen for the Owls tonight. #FAU is shooting 37% FG, #UNT is shooting 57%. That's the story right there, folks.

Mean Green lead the Owls 70-50 with 3:45 remaining.

Final. FAU falls to UNT, 81-58.

FINAL. #UNT 81 - #FAU 58.

Owls (11-6, 3-1) drop their first #CUSA game of the season.

Hard to win when your opponent converts 57% FG and wins the battle along the boards. The Mean Green are legit, ya'll.

Mike Forrest is the only Owl to score double digits, netting 11 points.

Yep. We were dominated inside the paint.

UNT scored 40 points down low, compared to FAU's 26.

Mean Green also won the rebounding battle 34-28.
