No Stapleton today, so Madiaw Niang takes his spot at the PF position. The rest of the starting five is unchanged. That's Adger, Forrest, Ingram, and Silins.

Not pretty early. BCU is shooting an insane 65% from the field.

#BCU 14 - #FAU 7 | 15:04 1H

We have a football score early at the Moore Gymnasium. Adger leads the Owls with five points.

Owls are getting dominated in the paint. Not listed in the tweet is BCU's 14-7 rebounding advantage.

#BCU 27 - #FAU 12 | 9:20 1H

The Wildcats are shooting a stellar 65% from the field compared to the Owls' 25%. BCU Center Soufiyane Diakite has a game high 11 points.

Yea about that dark horse tourney thing…. Nevermind 

Owls are now shooting 30% from the field compared to BCU's 48%. Not great, but it's better than what it was.

#BCU 31 - #FAU 23 | 3:58 1H

Owls pull within single digits thanks to a Maitre steal and assist to Adger for three! Both teams are now starting to shoot closer to their averages.

So close from going into the half level, but a BCU 5-0 run in the final 40 seconds allows the Wildcats to hold their lead at the break.

HALFTIME | #BCU 38 - #FAU 31

Owls had stormed back with a 8-0 run to pull within 4, but a 5-0 run in the final :40 extends the Wildcat lead going into the break.

Coach May is COACHING!

One possession game…

Okay, now this is better! Owls pull within a single possession with Ingram heating up. I saw we're overdue an Adger or Sebree three-pointer.

#BCU 39 - #FAU 37 | 16:00 2H

Now we're playing ball! Owls are amidst a 6-1 run to pull within a single possession. Ingram has the hot hand, netting 3-4 of his last FGs.

Ingram hits a three to give the Owls their first lead of the afternoon!

#FAU 45 - #BCU 42 | 12:45 2H

Ingram hits an NBA length three-pointer for the Owls' first lead of the day! He now leads all scorers with 20 points.
