Can Florida Atlantic Owls Outmaneuver UTSA Roadrunners at Convocation Center?
The Florida Atlantic Owls are gearing up for a pivotal showdown against the UTSA Roadrunners at the UTSA Convocation Center. With the game scheduled for February 25, fans are eager to see if the Owls can bounce back from their recent performance and secure a win on the road.
In their last outing on February 10, FAU faced a tough opponent in Wichita State's Shockers. Despite putting up a valiant effort, they fell short with a final score of 56-67. The statistics reveal some areas of concern; particularly, FAU's field goal percentage stood at 39 percent and their three-point shooting was just 32 percent. Additionally, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 18 times.
However, it wasn't all gloom for FAU. They showed promise in assists with a total of 15 and demonstrated defensive resilience by matching Wichita State's blocks and surpassing them in steals with five to seven respectively. This indicates that when focused, FAU has the capability to disrupt opponents' plays and create scoring opportunities.
Looking further back provides more context to assess FAU's potential against UTSA. On February 7 against Charlotte's 49ers, FAU emerged victorious with a score of 66-55. Their free throw accuracy was impressive at an excellent rate of 84 percent which could be crucial in close game situations against UTSA.
Moreover, during their February 3 encounter with Rice University’s Owls where they won by five points (68-63), it was evident that FAU can maintain composure under pressure – outscoring Rice significantly in the final quarter.
FAU will need to draw upon these strengths while addressing weaknesses such as turnovers and inconsistent shooting percentages if they wish to overcome UTSA Roadrunners' home-court advantage.
The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams vie for dominance on court. Fans should expect an intense battle where every rebound counts and each shot could turn the tides of victory or defeat.
Mark your calendars for this thrilling encounter scheduled on Sunday afternoon at San Antonio’s Convocation Center starting at sharp two o'clock local time (2:00 PM).
