BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Ako Adams hit a 3-pointer at the overtime buzzer to give Rice a 79-76 victory over Florida Atlantic in a Conference USA battle Thursday night.

The victory is revenge for the Owls, who saw Justin Massey hit a buzzer-beater in Houston for a 63-62 FAU win earlier this season. The win is Rice's third straight in Boca Raton and snaps a six-game losing string.

Gerdarius Troutman drilled a 3 with :03 left to get Florida Atlantic even at 66-66 and force overtime.

Adams made a 3-pointer with 1:26 left in overtime to put Rice in front, 73-72, and Bishop Mency, Connor Cashaw and Adams each hit a free throw to keep the Owls in front until Massey made two free throws with :02 left to tie the game at 76-76.
