FAU couldn’t do enough offensively, shooting 36 percent from the field.
The Owls played their first postseason game in six years on Thursday, but their 68-66 defeat to Charleston Southern in the first round of the CIT brought their rare championship chase to a close.
FAU fell behind the Buccaneers early and trailed by as much as ten points in the first half, but they crawled back in the second.
After being down 30-20, the Owls cut the Charleston Southern lead down to 34-30 at the half.
