FAU basketball remains undefeated through two games of the Dusty May era, hitting a last-second shot to top UCF 80-79 on the road.
The Owls (2-0) victory is their first over UCF since 2014. Despite leading the overall series 22-9, the Knights (1-1) have lost five of their last seven against FAU.
FAU played a back-and-forth game deep into the second half, UCF taking a 74-73 lead with under two minutes remaining.
With seven seconds left, UCF’s B.J. Taylor hit what looked like a game-winner for his team. But the Owls had other plans.
FAU guard Michael Forrest pulled up for a last-second shot to win the game, but the ball rimmed out, Simeon Lepichev putting it back up to bring his team ahead with less than a second remaining.
