Wasn't expecting that type of start from Davis. Needs to be better there.

17:52 1st: FAU 0, Northwestern 0

Good to see Goldin knock down both free throws. Considering his struggles at the charity stripe during the AAC Tourney, him doing well there will be needed.

15:22 1st: FAU 4, Northwestern 4

5 minutes 4 points...defensive game to say the least,

Did well guarding the perimeter before that triple from Buie. Have to keep contesting those threes!

Northwestern looks like Rice on steroids…

FAU 1-of-8 to start, 6 points and 4 at the FT line 8 minutes into the game.

Great transition offense from Davis on this play!

Great defense from #FAU G @KOBNelly awards him with the steal and the SPEEDY layup on the fastbreak! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/Df4ctZ4Kwj

FAU weathers a 6-0 run from Northwestern, currently down by 1 with 7 minutes to go in the 1st half.

7:08 1st: FAU 11, Northwestern 12

Feel like we're playing Temple again, except they are scoring either…

Davis finally gets the Owls' first triple of the day! Took 8 tries to do so.

6:13 1st: FAU 14, Northwestern 12
