Owls Try to Snap Four Game Skid Against Southeast Louisiana Tomorrow Night in the Burrow

The Owls (3-5) play their first home game since November 22 tomorrow night against the SE Louisiana Lions (4-3) at 7pm.

FAU began the season 3-1, but are now on a four game losing streak, with all the losses coming on the road. The Owls are undefeated in both pre-season and regular season play at home on the year.

The Lions are ranked 10th in the NCAA in scoring (84.9 ppg). They have four players averaging double figures, including the team's leading scorer guard/forward Kevyn Green (21.4 ppg), who ranks in the top 20 nationally in numerous offensive categories.

The Lions offensive play may prove to be too much for the Owls defense that has looked sluggish at times, and has a tendency to give up easy baskets towards the end of games.

A key player that needs to play well in order for the Owls to pull out the victory is the team's leading scorer Paul Graham III (13.4 ppg), who will be honored before the game for becoming the 7th player in FAU history to score over 1,000 points.

One of the other six to score over 1,000 points for the Owls is pre-season All-American senior forward Carlos Monroe , who is expected to still be out due to being ineligible for play. I personally expect Monroe to be back once grades are released. Although the team won't release the reason for why he is ineligible and there has been no time table given as to when he will return, Jarvis did say that he expects Monroe to return before seasons end. That gives me a gut feeling that academics is the answer to why he can't play right now.

This will be the last chance to watch the Owls play at the Burrow until Thursday, Jan. 1 at 2pm when they play South Alabama.

Anyone who brings in an unwrapped toy to tomorrow night's game will receive $2 admission as part of FAU's Toys for Kids Holiday Drive. The first 50 fans will receive free popcorn and the first 200 fans will receive a free Amp Energy drink.

I hope to see you there at the game. I'll be the blond hair guy sitting at the east side scoring table in front of the Owl fans.
