PREVIEW FAU MEN'S BASKETBALL GAME @FIU
As it stands today atop the Sun-Belt Conference sits Middle Tennessee with a 10-5 record in conference and a 16-11 overall record. Right behind them is FAU with a 9-5 in Conference and 13-12 overall record. In addition, Troy sits with a record of 9-5 in Conference and 14-11 overall. FAU's next oppenent has a 4-11 in Conference record and 7-21 overall. This thursday in Miami at the U.S. Century Bank Arena, FAU will clash with FIU. It looks like this match-up is going to be a challenge regardless of FIU's inferior record. Coach Jarvis mentioned in his radio program hosted by Ken Lavicka's ESPN 760 on Monday night that FIU is a very physical team. He mentioned that they can keep things competitive and always present a tough obstacle to go through. FAU's following game is at Troy in Alabama, and perhaps a more pressing opponent for the Owls. FAU played Troy on 1/07/2009 and came away with a victory, the final score was 83-69. One might arrive at the conclusion that FIU. due to losing their last 5 games, could still present a challenge. A team desperate to get a win is a hungry team, full of desire - so we could see a close game.
