Florida Atlantic Owls Set to Face Wichita State Shockers at Charles Koch Arena
As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to take on the Wichita State Shockers at Charles Koch Arena, fans are eager to see if the Owls can turn their recent performance trends around. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 28th, will be a crucial test for the team as they look to improve upon their recent outings.
The Owls have had a challenging stretch in their past few games. In their last match against San Diego State Aztecs at Rubin Arena, they struggled offensively, scoring only 48 points with a field goal percentage of just 35 percent. Their three-point attempts were also below par, making only 26 percent of those shots. Defensively, they allowed 75 points and were outperformed in assists and steals.
However, there was a glimmer of hope in their game against UCF Knights where they managed to secure a narrow victory with 59 points and an impressive three-point shooting performance at 50 percent accuracy. Despite this win, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 22 times.
In another close encounter against Howard Bison at FAU Arena, the Owls fell short by just one point. They showed defensive tenacity with blocks and steals but again suffered from low field goal percentages (28 percent) and turnovers (12).
The venue for the upcoming game could play a significant role; Charles Koch Arena is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could pose an additional challenge for the visiting Owls.
Fans can catch all the action live on January 28th as Florida Atlantic looks to bring intensity on both ends of the court and hopefully translate that into improved shooting percentages and reduced turnovers. The team's ability to adapt and overcome these challenges will be critical in securing victory away from home.
