Prior to the season, Florida Atlantic men’s basketball coach Michael Curry decided to bring senior Adonis Filer, a starter last season, off the bench. The decision paid off in the Owls 98-64 win over Edward Waters College on Sunday afternoon.

His intention was to strengthen the second unit by having an aggressive ball handler that could efficiently put the ball in the basket.
