First 4 minute timeout-

FAU 14
ST Leo 7

Owls scored their first 9 points down low 7 from Matas. Ken Evans Jr cashed the first 3 pointer of the Jakus era, and Kaleb Glenn hit a pair of free throws after he was fouled on a put-back attempt.

Owls are 1-6 from 3 to start.

Thank you for the updates, Rick!

Timeout Saint Leo-

FAU 18
Saint Leo 8

After Moretti took it coast to coast a few possessions earlier, Vanterpool does the same this and forces a lions timeout.

Owls active defensively early.

12 minute timeout-

FAU 20
Saint Leo 11

The Owls have forced 3 steals since the 16 minute timeout and have scored on all 3 of them… FAU is active defensively and everyone is benefitting.

7 Owls in the score column, Matas leading the way with 7 points

Thank Robbie too!

We haven't taken a 3 in a while.

LOL

FSU let this team shoot 50% from the field against them in the first half. So far FAU has allowed 35.7%.

Robbie's latest LIVE update:

The Owls have opened up a 31-15 lead here with 8:44 to play.

An 11-0 run capped off by a midrange jumper from KyKy Tandy with 10:41 remaining helped jolt the lead up to 29-11 which has been the largest lead to this point.

Saint Leo struggling to keep up with the pace of FAU.

THIS JUST IN: Matas has low post skills

Been a lot of this here early for the #Owls

Matas is getting whatever he wants against a smaller Saint Leo squad… owls have opened up their largest lead of the day 49-24 with 3:27 to play.

Matas has 15 points and 6 rebounds, and is 6/7 from the field. pic.twitter.com/RVWlgX41IV
