Florida Atlantic men’s basketball used a pair of double-digit runs in each half to turn what was once a 10-point deficit in the first half into a 78-62 win over the University of South Florida on Tuesday night in Boca Raton.

The Owls (2-3) shot 45.3 percent from the field, including knocking down a season high 11 3-pointers.

“Regardless of the team’s defense, if we’re disciplined enough to move the ball side to side, we can play with more freedom of taking more shots,” head coach Michael Curry said.
