Men’s Basketball: Owls beat Northern Kentucky 67-52 for 10th straight win

FAU men’s basketball (11-1, 1-0 C-USA) are on a roll, having the longest winning streak in program history with head coach Dusty May. FAU took down the Northern Kentucky Norse (NKU) (7-6, 2-0 Horizon) Wednesday night in the Eleanor Baldwin Arena.

“We had to win a little bit uglier than usual,” said May, who is now FAU’s all-time winningest head coach after the victory. “I thought [NKU] controlled the tempo well and forced us to play late in the clock, but our guys were very poised and had good offense late as well.”

The Owls started the first half leading 5-2, before NKU’s guards Trey Robinson and Xavier Rhodes scored six straight points.
