FAU shuts North Texas down defensively, winning 60-54

FAU picked up its first win of Conference USA bonus play, dominating North Texas defensively in a gritty 60-54 road win.

This was a huge win for the Owls after they dropped their first game of bonus play last Saturday. FAU is now 1-1 with two games left in the regular season, with a chance to move to a higher seed in the C-USA tournament, which starts March 13.

Last time these two teams met, the Owls conducted a masterful performance on the defensive end, holding the Mean Green to 47 points. It was a similar outcome in the second battle.
