The team's shooting accuracy was notable, with a field goal percentage of fifty percent and an eighty percent success rate from the free-throw line.

Another remarkable victory for the Owls came against St. Bonaventure Bonnies, where they dominated with a ten-point lead, ending the game at 64-54. The team's defensive efforts were commendable; they capitalized on turnovers by scoring twenty-four points off them and maintained an even assists-turnover ratio.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for FAU; their home game against Florida International Panthers highlighted areas needing improvement despite winning 94-60. While their field goal percentage was an outstanding sixty-four percent and two-point shots were converted at seventy-four percent, free throws were only made forty-eight percent of the time – leaving room for better consistency from the charity stripe.
