Of note, Baruti is 6-7, so not a "small" line-up by any means.

Go Owls!

16:03 1st

FAU 6  UNM 5

The Lobos have four personals already in what has been an aggressive showing by the defense on both sides.

11:18 1st: FAU 14 UNM 17

Owls have a 12-6 edge off glass but the Lobos hold a 43.8 FG mark near the midway point of the 1st half. Winchester, Forrest, Goldin each with 4 points.

8:21 1st: FAU23 UNM 22

Owls pick up the pace going from 33% to 44% from the floor.

5:22 1st: FAU 29  UNM 30

The Owls are a perfect 11-11 from the charity stripe but have yet to hit from long range (0-5).

Otherwise, they'd be up solid.

3:50 1st: FAU 31  UNM 31

Winchester's fade away jumper just inside the foul line knots it up.

He's got a team high 8 points at the final media stop of the first half.

This just in:

Rosado (6-8, 247 lbs) is a fast big man down low. Pass caught in the paint, quick pump fake, and instant bucket afterwards.
