Sophomore Justin Massey’s 3-pointer with 49 seconds left gave Florida Atlantic men’s basketball the lead for the first time in the second half, and it never surrendered it, taking down Old Dominion University 65-61 Saturday night in Norfolk, Virginia.

The Owls (8-13, 4-6 Conference USA) trailed by 14 points with 5:22 remaining in the game, but closed the game by outscoring the Monarchs (14-9, 7-4) Conference USA) 25-7 the rest of the way.
