Good morning, Owls Family. The FAU MBB team concluded the 2024 Field of 68 Tip-Off with another overtime outing, picking up the victory over Liberty, 77-74.
 
In a complete tale of two halves, the Owls (3-2) followed up a high-scoring first period with reliance on timely shots and defensive stands in the second to take down the previously undefeated Flames (3-1). Matas Vokietaitis set a career-high to lead the team in scoring with 17 on 7-for-9 shooting. 34 of the Owls' points came off the bench, led by Kaleb Glenn and Niccolo Moretti, scoring 12 each.

The Owls remain in Charleston to participate in the 2024 Shriners Children's Charleston Classic.
