lorida Atlantic men’s basketball, who went into halftime trailing by 11 points, chipped the University of North Texas’ lead down to two points but were unable to complete a second half comeback as they fell to the Mean Green 70-64 Thursday in Boca Raton.

The Owls (8-14, 4-7 Conference USA) would cut the Mean Green lead to two points twice in the second half after trailing by double digits both times, but couldn’t get back into the game.
