In tonight’s matchup between Tulane and North Texas, both teams traded blows while displaying elite defensive fortitude. Both the Green Wave and the Mean Green were lethal inside the paint, and behind the three point line
It was important for FAU to bounce back following the tough loss to Memphis, and they did exactly that, finding their balanced offensive attack and getting a swarming team effort defensively. Although the Owls didn’t have the most effective game from deep, they made important triples which helped space the offense and open up opportunities for Vlad to succeed down low.
It was another edge of your seat type of game for FAU, as both the Owls and Tulane traded runs and leads back and forth for a majority of this game. But it was the battle tested Owls coming through in the end, as Alijah Martin hit 2 late free throws and lifted FAU to their first true road win of the year, 85-84 over Tulane.
