Can the Owls Soar Past the Bulls at Yuengling Center?

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to face off against the South Florida Bulls at the Yuengling Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The upcoming game, scheduled for February 18th, is a chance for redemption after a string of challenging matches.

The Owls have had a rocky road in their past few games. On December 21st, they faced a tough loss against San Diego State Aztecs with a final score of 48-75. Despite putting up a good fight in the third quarter where they scored 16 points, it wasn't enough to overcome their opponent's consistent scoring across all quarters and superior field goal percentage of 49 percent.

In another close encounter on December 18th against UCF Knights, FAU managed to edge out with a one-point victory at 59-58. This game was marked by nine lead changes and showcased FAU's ability to maintain composure under pressure. Their three-point shooting was impressive at 50 percent accuracy, which significantly contributed to their narrow win.

However, on December 16th against Howard Bison in their home court at FAU Arena, the Owls fell short by just one point again with a score of 45-46. It was an intense match that saw five times tied and only one lead change. The Owls struggled with two-point field goals but made up some ground from beyond the arc hitting an impressive rate of 38 percent from three-point range.

Looking ahead to their confrontation with USF Bulls, it's clear that FAU needs to focus on improving their two-point field goal percentage and reducing turnovers which have plagued them in previous games – notably racking up seventeen against SDSU and twelve both versus UCF Knights and Howard Bison.

The Bulls will not make it easy for them; however, if there is anything we've learned about this Owl squad is that they are resilient and capable of making crucial shots when needed most. Fans should expect an intense battle where every possession will count.

Supporters can catch all the action live on February 18th at Yuengling Center in Tampa or tune into broadcasts available for those who cannot make it in person. With tip-off set for after sunset (exact time TBD), this game promises high stakes as both teams vie for victory on court – may the best team win!
