Ched Chase, UP Sports EditorFAU 77 Belmont 76 “FAU has been red hot, even hotter on the road picking up a couple of upset victories recently. Belmont is 14-3 overall and comparing that to FAU’s record of 9-9, you’d think that the Bruins wouldn’t have much of a problem, but do remember that the Lady Owls played in a tournament early in the season against some tough teams. I see the Owls hitting a basket late in the game to seal the victory. They must take care of the boards and get a lot of second shots to win though, but Kristy will handle that I think.”Clark Palmer, UP Sports WriterFAU 74 Belmont 70“Belmont is the best team in the conference. However, FAU has been surprising teams lately including Belmont. The Lady Owls road record is also pretty good this year.”Tom Glucksmann, UP Sports WriterBelmont 85 FAU 83 “A battle of the A-Sun’s top two teams. This one is a barn burner, two scrappy teams matching up. I see this one going into overtime, possibly double overtime. Unfortunately the home court advantage is too much for Coach Dugan’s Lady Owls to overcome.”Guest Picker: Michael Koretzky, UP AdviserBelmont 72 FAU 70FAU won the first game between these two, but they needed a late 14-0 run on their home court to pull it off. I can’t see that happening again, and I can’t see it happening on Belmont’s floor. Having accurately predicted the score of the men’s game between these two teams (albeit with the winner and loser inverted), I’m confident that at least the score will be correct.
