Panthers come right back to tie it up. Both teams are shooting above their averages, let's see how long that lasts.

FIU ties it up at 16 with 10:46 left in the first half. Both teams are shooting 47% FG.

Troutman with 8 points early, going 3-3 FG.

10 turnovers so far has absolutely KILLED any FAU momentum.

Both #FAU & #FIU are now struggling from the field, Owls going just 1-6 over the last three minutes.

Their passing lately has been lazy and sloppy, it's what happens when players don't care.

The traveling FAU contingency LOVED this one. Good to see and hear the #OwlNation Invasion!

BOOM!

A Massey three-pointer caps off a 3-3 FG run for #FAU & gives the Owls the 29-28 lead with 4:40 left in the half.

You could hear the roar of the FAU fans at FIU Arena from South Beach!

Music to my ears.

Panthers take a timeout after a Rutherford ➡️ Delph alley-oop! Owls have gone 5-5 FG over the last 2 minutes. #FAU 33-30 @ 2:50 in half.

What a surge towards the end of the first half! Owls finishing the half going 3-3 from the field (not including a tough three-point attempt at the buzzer) gives FAU all the momentum they need going into the locker-room.

HALFTIME: #FAU leading rival #FIU 40-35.

Troutman with a game high 11 points, Ingram with a game high 4 rebounds.

BEAUTIFUL! 😎😎😎 #GoOwls

The passing was rough! Rutherford's 3 TO's all came via poor passes. Thankfully, that was taken care of as we've only turned it over once since then.

Finally starting to get it!

Troutman = 15-20 shots per night.

Still not at the pace he should be at, but hopefully that will change…

Kid is LEATHAL.

Owls shooting 53% FG and 50% from three point land.

I'm happy to see us only take 6 3PT attempts in the first half. Smart shots = no wasted possessions.

Cylla will be on the line once we come back from this media timeout. We could use some momentum with 15:05 left.

The Owls have hit a cold snap! With #FAU going 0-5 FG, we're in the midst of a 2:15 long scoring drought.

Panthers retake the lead, 47-46.
