Clash at Elma Roane Fieldhouse: Florida Atlantic Owls to Face Memphis Tigers

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to take on the Memphis Tigers at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 20th, will be a test of resilience and strategy for the Owls.

In their last three games, the Owls have shown a mix of challenges and potential. Against Howard Bison, they narrowly lost with a score of 45-46. Despite this close defeat, they demonstrated defensive prowess with two blocks and limited turnovers to 12. However, their field goal percentage was low at 28 percent which is an area that needs improvement.

Their encounter with UCF Knights showcased better offensive execution as they secured a win with a score of 59-58. The team's three-point shooting was impressive at 50 percent accuracy but was overshadowed by high personal fouls totaling 18 and turnovers at 22.

The most recent game against San Diego State Aztecs revealed areas for concern as the Owls scored only 48 points compared to Aztecs' commanding 75 points. The team struggled particularly in turnovers (17) and personal fouls (12), which contributed significantly to their loss.

As we look ahead to the match-up in Memphis, it's clear that reducing turnovers and improving shooting efficiency from within the paint will be crucial for Florida Atlantic's success. Additionally, maintaining strong defense without accruing excessive fouls could help tilt the scales in their favor.

The Elma Roane Fieldhouse is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play into home-court advantage for Memphis Tigers; however, it also presents an opportunity for Florida Atlantic players to rise above pressure situations.

Fans can catch all the action on January 20th when these two teams face off in what promises to be an exciting contest between conference rivals.
