Getting into the homestretch here. Owls are shooting an abysmal 22% this half.

Owls are still struggling offensively. Looking for answers, #FAU is down 46-42 with 7:57 remaining.

I say it's time to give Troutman the 🏀

Owls offensive has FINALLY awoken. Owls have made 4 of their last 4 FGs to pull within 3.

AND-ONE! Adonis Filer was fouled while shooting a layup in transition. Owls are now down one possession.#UTEP leads 56-53, 2:51 left.

Owls are in the need of a run here.

Owls are running out of time here. #UTEP leads 58-53 with 1:09 remaining.

Owls need to foul an hope for a miss, then call a quick TO.

#UTEP to inbound with 7 seconds left. Miners still lead 58-55 so expect #FAU to foul.

Owls can't pull it off. Drop yet another close game at the Burrow.

FINAL: A disappointing second half for the Owls leads to 60-55 Miners' victory. #FAU has lost their 8 out of their last 9 home games.

Should have stepped back at that last 3 pointer, plenty of time on the clock. Tough ending.

We are 1 coach away from winning these close ones 😉

Positive: We grabbed nearly twice as many offensive rebounds as UTEP did. 16 assists, 9 steals.

Negative: Free throw (4-9, 44%) Terrible!!!! 3-Point line (3-19, 16%) ABYSMAL!!! If we focused more on FT rather than 3PTs, we'd have a chance to win this game. We got out rebounded. We can't win games in the tournament if we don't improve on rebounds and free throws.

We won't win a game in the tournament, not being negative just being real.

As Dusky eluded to, good coaching will get you 5-10 points night in and night out even if you stink at shooting.

That is our main issue.
