  1. My game story on FAU men's basketball team's preseason loss in overtime to Northwood: http://bit.ly/9HHgJr
  2. Owl Force One has landed in Kentucky. FAU hopes to leave tomorrow at 3-5.
  3. Plane about to take off for Kentucky ahead of tomorrow's FAU-WKU game.
  4. Americans Abroad: A Look Ahead: Dempsey to face Friedel, Goodson's IK Start finale and more: http://bit.ly/bvlTpf
  5. Final. FAU drops preseason opener, 85-81. Owls missed Taylor, have lots of offseason dust to shake off.
  6. Freshman meltdown. Foul by Mavin and travel by Bartone helps Northwood pull away 84-77 with 25.6 to go. This one's all but over.
  7. 1:03 to go in the game and Northwood is up 79-77. FAU need to hold firm defensively and then should look for Roysten down low.
  8. @BRowitz And it's just preseason.
  9. Wait, there it is. Dunn hits a two for Northwood. FAU responds with a short shot from Royster.
  10. Nearly two minutes have passed in OT and not a single shot has been made.
  11. After Northwood hits one of two free throws, Gantt makes a shot with 2.2 seconds left to tie things up. Overtime here we come. 73-73.
  12. Richardson misses his first free throw but makes the second. FAU down 72-71 with 10.6 left to play.
  13. Northwood commit a ridiculous foul and Richardson will go to the line for two. Make both and this game will be tied. 10.6 secs to go.
  14. Royster with mop-up duty slam after missed Gantt 3-pointer brings FAU within 1. Owls will need to foul and make their shot. 18.4 ticks left
  15. Shot from beyond the arc puts FAU down by 3 with 41.4 to go in the game. Northwood up 71-68.
  16. 2:05 to go and now Northwood has a 1-point advantage, leading 68-67 with 2:05 to go.
