Men’s Basketball: Owls knock off Detroit Mercy in 76-55 blowout

The Owls are riding a three-game winning streak with the victory.

FAU men’s basketball (4-1) cruised to victory Saturday night, knocking down the Detroit Mercy University Titans (2-2) 76-55 at home.

“We are excited about the start of the season, we learned a lot about ourselves and we’ve just tried to fix some weaknesses,” head coach Dusty May said.

The Owls got off to a hot start, making their shots and locking down on the defensive end. They led 16-7 at the 10-minute mark of the first half.

Sophomore guard Alijah Martin knocked down a three-point attempt to pace the squad early on with five points.
