Men’s Basketball: Alijah Martin’s 34 points lead Owls to 84-76 win over FIU

Martin became the first Owl since Cornelius Taylor in 2020 to have a 30-point performance.

Alijah Martin (#15) scored a career-high 34 points to lead the Owls to victory against FIU on March 5, 2022.

FAU men’s basketball (18-13, 11-7 C-USA) played their last regular-season game in the Burrow at Abessinio Court Saturday afternoon, clinching an 84-76 victory against the Florida International University (FIU) Panthers (15-16, 5-13 C-USA).

The Owls took a comfortable 23-13 lead less than nine minutes into the first half. Freshman guard Alijah Martin played a role in helping the team start well, connecting on back-to-back three-pointers to force FIU to call a timeout with 11:19 remaining in the half.
