Clash at FAU Arena: Florida Atlantic Owls to Host Howard Lady Bison in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to host the Howard Lady Bison at FAU Arena, fans can anticipate an exciting women's basketball game that showcases the Owls' recent performance trends. The upcoming match is set to take place in Boca Raton, a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could provide a home-court advantage for the Owls.
Analyzing past games, it's clear that Florida Atlantic has been on an upward trajectory. In their most recent game against St. Thomas Bobcats, they secured a convincing victory with 78 points scored compared to their opponent's 60. Their offensive prowess was evident as they made 43 percent of their field goals and an impressive 44 percent from beyond the arc. Additionally, their free-throw accuracy stood out at approximately 79 percent.
Defensively, the Owls showed tenacity with seven steals and managed to out-rebound their opponents by a significant margin with 44 rebounds compared to St. Thomas' 30. This rebounding strength contributed greatly to second-chance points and points off turnovers—areas where they dominated with totals of 11 and 26 respectively.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing in previous encounters; when facing Nebraska Cornhuskers away from home, the Owls fell short scoring only 53 points against Nebraska’s strong defense which put up 77 points. The team struggled particularly from three-point range hitting just under 27 percent of attempts.
In another road game against Kennesaw State Owls (not related), FAU managed only two first-quarter points en route to a total of just over half what Kennesaw State scored (43 vs. Kennesaw State’s winning score of over half again as much). Despite this setback, they continued fighting throughout all quarters showing resilience—a quality that could be pivotal in close games.
The upcoming game will test whether Florida Atlantic can maintain its offensive efficiency while improving upon areas such as assists-to-turnover ratio and consistency across quarters—factors that could decide the outcome against Howard Lady Bison.
