A lack of rebounding proved to be the downfall for Florida Atlantic men’s basketball against Old Dominion, as the Monarchs took control of the game’s rebounding advantage with 42 boards in a 78-66 loss Thursday.

FAU (5-16, 3-5 CUSA) was held to one rebound within the first 8 minutes of the second half and would record only 24 for the game.
