Florida Atlantic Owls and Charlotte 49ers Set to Clash at FAU Arena

As the Florida Atlantic Owls prepare to host the Charlotte 49ers at FAU Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent slump. The Owls have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, with a notable victory against the South Florida Bulls but disappointing losses to both North Texas Mean Green and Wichita State Shockers.

The win over the Bulls showcased the Owls' ability to control the game, ending with a comfortable 67-55 scoreline. Their offensive efficiency was on display as they shot 48 percent from the field and an impressive 57 percent from two-point range. Dominance in points in the paint was also evident with 38 points scored up close.

However, consistency has been an issue for Florida Atlantic. In their encounter with North Texas, turnovers proved costly; they gave up possession 23 times which translated into 32 points for their opponents. Despite outshooting North Texas from beyond the arc at a rate of 37 percent compared to Mean Green's 27 percent, it wasn't enough to secure victory.

Against Wichita State Shockers, another loss was recorded despite similar shooting percentages from both teams. The difference-maker here seemed to be free throws and second-chance points where Wichita State had clear advantages.

Looking ahead at their matchup against Charlotte, maintaining ball security will be crucial for Florida Atlantic if they wish to capitalize on home-court advantage and get back on track. Reducing turnovers while continuing strong shooting performances could be key factors that determine whether or not they can overcome their guests.
