Can Florida Atlantic Owls Shock the Shockers at Charles Koch Arena?

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to face off against the Wichita State Shockers at Charles Koch Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Owls have been on a notable trajectory, showcasing a blend of resilience and offensive firepower in their past performances.


St. Bonaventure Bonnies VS Florida Atlantic Owls

In an electrifying double-overtime victory against the Arizona Wildcats, ranked 4th nationally, the Owls scored 96 points with a field goal percentage of 50 percent and were particularly strong from the free-throw line with an 80 percent completion rate. Their ability to score in clutch moments was evident as they tallied up significant points in paint (40) and capitalized on turnovers (14).


However, consistency remains a challenge for Florida Atlantic. In their game against St. Bonaventure Bonnies, they managed only 64 points but displayed defensive prowess by limiting turnovers (13) and stealing nine times from their opponents. Their shooting from beyond the arc was less effective at just 25 percent.


The most dominant display came when they hosted Florida International Panthers where they secured an impressive win with a high field goal percentage of 64 percent and excelled in assists-to-turnover ratio (1.41). They also demonstrated depth in scoring options by putting up half of their three-point shots successfully.


Playing away at Charles Koch Arena could pose its challenges; however, if FAU can leverage its high-scoring offense while tightening defense on transitions, there's potential for another upset.


Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN2 channel 209 as these two teams clash on February 11th at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Will FAU's recent form be enough to overcome Wichita State's home-court advantage? Only time will tell as we anticipate this thrilling encounter!
