Reynolds Center.

Owls' Offensive Onslaught

The Florida Atlantic Owls exhibited an impressive offensive performance, shooting 50 percent from the field and 43 percent from beyond the arc.

The team's efficiency was further highlighted by their ability to draw fouls and capitalize on turnovers, scoring 18 points off turnovers.

A significant contributor to this offensive feast was Baba Miller who notched up a double-double with 17 points and ten rebounds while shooting an impressive 64 percent from the field.

Defensive Dominance Leads to Victory

The defensive effort extended beyond just blocking shots; it also included holding Tulsa to a mere 32 percent shooting from the field and an abysmal fourteen percent from three-point territory.
