Men’s Basketball: FAU bested by FGCU in heartbreaking buzzer beater

On Nov. 30, Florida Atlantic’s men’s basketball team (4-5) had their first game at home since Nov. 8. They had a two week stretch in Charleston, S.C. for the Field of 68 Tipoff and the Charleston Classic.

In their second buzzer beater of the season, the Owls fell 80-78 to Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles (3-5). With 30 seconds left, guard Kyky Tandy tied up the game but FGCU’s guard Jevin Muniz stepped back in the paint to put away the two and secure the win.
