2017-18 FAU Men's Basketball Schedule



2017-2018 FAU Men's Basketball Schedule - dates and times are subject to change.

The Owls knocked off Lynn 68-53 in exhibition action on Saturday.

Notables

• Ronald Delph led all scorers with 18 points and tied for the game high with seven rebounds.
• William Pfister and Jailyn Ingram also had seven rebounds for the Owls.
• Amir Smith came off the bench to score 10 points and grab six rebounds.
• Payton Hulsey had six rebounds, four steals and four assists.
• After shooting just 34% as a team in the first half, the Owls shot 55.6% from the field after the break.

Seems like the Lynn game is a good indicator of how the rest of the season will go.

I read that we were down 51-50 and had to make a late run to get the W?

Couldn't hit the side of the barn in the first half then got hot late…so,  yeah.

New team though. Friday will tell us more.

Basketball is (quietly?) having themselves a 4-game win streak right now but we'll have to see if they can carry it into conference play. Hopefully they can turn some heads in January.
