FAU men's basketball let a 13-point second half lead to slip away, losing to Florida State 64-59 at the Orange Bowl Classic on Saturday.

The game was delayed twice due to issues with one of the rims, approaching nearly an hour in total.

The Owls (2-9) led for most of the contest and more than held their own against the Seminoles.

Marquan Botley (pictured) hit a free throw to put the Owls up 56-53 with less than four minutes to go, but the Seminoles, aided by back-to-back turnovers, closed on an 11-3 run to take the game.
