Can Florida Atlantic Owls Ride the Wave Against Tulane in Boca Raton?

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to host the Tulane Green Wave at FAU Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. The Owls have shown a mix of resilience and vulnerability in their past games, which could make for an unpredictable showdown.


Tulane Green Wave VS Florida Atlantic Owls

In their last game against South Florida Bulls, despite a high-scoring second half where they put up 55 points, the Owls fell short by four points in a nail-biting 86-90 loss. They demonstrated strong shooting from inside the arc with a 61 percent success rate on two-point attempts but struggled defensively allowing 90 points.


However, looking back at their home game against Temple, FAU showed dominance with an impressive 80-68 victory. Their offense was efficient from beyond the arc hitting 41 percent of three-point shots and they maintained control throughout with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.75.


The most notable performance came during an away game against Wichita State where after regulation time ended in a tie; FAU outscored Wichita State by thirteen points in overtime to secure a thrilling win. Their tenacity was evident as they racked up steals and capitalized on turnovers.


FAU's ability to score both inside and outside while keeping turnovers low has been key to their successes. However, defensive lapses have cost them dearly when they've lost control of games.


The upcoming match at FAU Arena will test whether the Owls can tighten up defensively while continuing to exploit offensive opportunities against Tulane Green Wave. With home-court advantage and fan support behind them, this is set up to be another exciting chapter for FAU basketball.


Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN2 channel 209 or attend in person at FAU Arena located at 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton FL zip code:33431 on March 2nd starting at noon Eastern Time (venue time).
