Men’s Basketball: Perimeter defense issues doom Owls in 78-69 loss to Stetson

The FAU Men’s basketball team (4-3) had their four-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Stetson Hatters (1-4) by a score of 78-69.

The Owls struggled with perimeter shooting, making 3-18 of their three-point shots. Stetson outmatched FAU from the three-point line, hitting 12 of their 24 shots from deep.

Stetson was the first team to strike. They started the game scoring 10 unanswered points in the first two minutes of the game until sophomore guard Kenan Blackshear made a bank-in jump shot to put FAU on the scoreboard.

Perimeter defense was the main issue for the Owls in the first half.
