Florida Atlantic Owls Set to Soar Against North Texas Mean Green in Fort Worth
As the Florida Atlantic University Owls prepare to take on the North Texas Mean Green at Dickies Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be an enthralling encounter. The Owls have been soaring high this season, and their upcoming game is a testament to their hard work and strategic play.
Last season's analytics reveal a team that was efficient from the charity stripe and within the arc, boasting a perfect free throw and two-point percentage. Their true shooting percentage also reflected a team that made every shot count. With an average of 77.8 points per game over 39 games, they proved themselves as formidable scorers.
The Owls' defensive prowess was equally impressive with an average of 6.46 steals per game, which speaks volumes about their ability to disrupt opponents' plays. Additionally, they averaged 2.56 blocks per game – a clear indicator of their solid presence under the rim.
On offense, FAU showed balance with contributions across the board: field goals made averaged at nearly 28 per game while three-pointers swished in at just over nine per contest; assists were dished out at an impressive rate of 14.4 per game indicating strong teamwork and ball distribution.
However, turnovers were something of concern last season as they averaged over eleven per match - an area where discipline will be key against UNT's defense.
Rebounding has been another strong suit for FAU with almost 36 boards grabbed each outing last season – ensuring second-chance opportunities while limiting those same chances for their opponents.
As we look ahead to this matchup in Fort Worth, it's clear that maintaining these statistical trends will be crucial for FAU if they wish to continue their winning ways against UNT’s Mean Green squad.
Fans can catch all the action on March 15th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time live from Dickies Arena on ESPNU network TV broadcast.
