In a game being marketed as the Boca Raton MegaBowl, FAU men’s basketball (3-1) defeated the Bryant University Bulldogs (3-1) 85-74 Thursday night in the recently-renamed Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena in Boca Raton, Fla.
“Bryant is a very good basketball team. They are well-coached, tough and gritty,” said head coach Dusty May. “We made the plays down the stretch that we needed to in order to win.”
The Owls struggled early on, shooting 38.7% from the field and 31.3% from three-point range and committing 10 turnovers, allowing the Bulldogs to hold the lead for most of the first half.
