Clash at FAU Arena: Florida Atlantic Owls to Host Tulsa Golden Hurricane in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to host the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at FAU Arena, fans are eager to see if the home team can turn their recent performance around. The upcoming game, set in Boca Raton, promises an exciting atmosphere where home-court advantage could play a significant role.

The Owls have had a challenging stretch in their last few games. Their most recent outing against San Diego State Aztecs ended with a 48-75 loss. Despite putting up a strong fight in the third quarter, scoring 16 points, they struggled defensively and allowed too many points off turnovers. The team's shooting percentage was just 35 percent from the field and 26 percent from beyond the arc.

In their game before that against UCF Knights, they managed to secure a narrow victory with a score of 59-58. This win showcased their ability to perform under pressure as they rallied with 21 points in the fourth quarter. Their three-point shooting was impressive at 50 percent accuracy but was overshadowed by committing 22 turnovers.

Looking further back, we see another tight contest where the Owls fell short by one point against Howard Bison with a final score of 45-46. Once again, turnovers were an issue for Florida Atlantic as they gave up possession on twelve occasions which translated into points for Howard.

The recurring theme for Florida Atlantic has been ball security and defensive lapses leading to easy scores for opponents. However, their resilience and ability to stay competitive until the final buzzer is commendable.

As we approach this matchup at FAU Arena on January 13th at 7 PM local time (Eastern Time), fans should look out for improvements on defense and ball handling by the Owls if they wish to capitalize on playing at home against Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Fans can catch all of this action unfold live from Boca Raton as both teams vie for victory on court.
