It was a game of firsts for the Florida Atlantic Owls after they ran away with a 73-66 win over the struggling Miners.
It marked the first time that the Owls had won a conference game this year, breaking a six-game losing streak. It was also the first time they beat the Miners in over a year, as the Miners had a 7-1 overall record over FAU.
And they did it with a huge second half surge, coming back from a four-point deficit at the half, and chipping in 18 points off the bench and out-rebounding the Miners 49-33.
