Men’s Basketball: Owls fall in a 68-66 home thriller against Miami

The FAU men’s basketball team (1-2) fell to the University of Miami (2-1) in the Burrow at Abessinio Court Tuesday evening. This was the first time in 19 years that the Owls hosted Miami for a basketball game.

The Owls started slow, as they showed “jitters” in front of a home crowd that had 2,772 people attend the game. The maximum capacity in the arena is 2,900.

“[I] kind of got the jitters a little bit in the beginning because of how loud everything was,” sophomore guard Bryan Greenlee said.

The Owls scored just 20 points in the first half, turned the ball over 11 times, and committed 11 fouls.
