With its 75-44 loss to the UAB Blazers in its conference home opener Thursday night, FAU men’s basketball extends its losing streak to a season-long five straight games.
Florida Atlantic men’s basketball was unable to shoot the ball as well in the second half as it did in the first, resulting in a 60-55 loss to the University of Texas El-Paso on Thursday night in Boca Raton.
After the University of Texas at San Antonio erased what was once an 11-point lead in favor of Florida Atlantic men’s basketball, neither of the two teams were able to put more than three points between them. The Roadrunners then closed the game by making their last four baskets to clinch a 68-63 win.
With 21.6 seconds remaining in overtime and the score tied at 77, Florida Atlantic head coach Michael Curry called upon his sophomore point guard Nick Rutherford to lead the team’s last possession. Rutherford drained the clock and isolated his defender.
