Florida Atlantic men’s basketball needed a late second-half run to put away the Ave Maria Gyrenes 72-59 Thursday night.

Ave Maria (1-9) took a brief four-point lead (their only lead of the game) midway through the second half before a 9-0 run helped FAU (2-5) recapture the lead they held previously during the entire first half.

FAU ran much of their second half offense through freshman forward Jesse Hill.
