BOCA RATON – FAU went from catching national attention with Justin Massey’s game winning shot five days ago to following into the old footsteps of not being able to finish games.
Florida Atlantic struggles once again to close out their opponent, as Louisiana Tech came back to defeat the Owls 67-62.
FAU led 58-57 with 2:26 remaining but didn’t score again until the game had been decided.
A late two-point shot by Amorie Archibald gave Louisiana Tech the lead, in which they never gave back.
Jailyn Ingram led the Owls with an impressive first half, when he scored 12 of his 16 points.
“Got to knock down our free throws and keep them off the line,” Curry said.
LA Tech took over the momentum in the final 10 minutes, putting the pressure on the Owls to make plays towards the end of the game.
