Owls Set to Soar or Stumble at Yuengling Center Showdown

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to face the South Florida Bulls at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent string of challenging games. The Owls have shown both resilience and areas for improvement in their past performances, which will undoubtedly influence their approach to the upcoming contest.

In their last game against San Diego State Aztecs, the Owls struggled defensively, allowing 75 points while scoring only 48 themselves. A low field goal percentage of 35 percent and a three-point percentage of 26 percent highlighted difficulties in finding the basket. Additionally, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 17 times.

However, there was a silver lining when they faced UCF Knights; despite committing an alarming number of turnovers (22), they managed to secure a narrow victory with 59 points against UCF's 58. Their three-point shooting was impressive at an even 50 percent success rate that game.

The encounter with Howard Bison showcased defensive prowess where both teams scored under fifty points; however, FAU's offensive efforts fell short by one point ending in a scoreline of 45-46. The team's two-point field goal percentage stood out as an area needing significant attention at just 20 percent.

The Owls' performance trends suggest that minimizing turnovers and improving shot selection could be key factors in securing wins. With these statistics in mind, fans can anticipate an intense matchup where every possession will count and defensive solidity could turn the tide.

The upcoming game is scheduled for February 18th at Tampa's Yuengling Center. Fans can catch all the action live and witness whether Florida Atlantic can refine their playstyle and capitalize on their strengths to overcome South Florida Bulls on enemy territory.
