Men's Basketball: Florida Atlantic Bounces Back in Overtime Thriller, 83-78
When FAU needed a hero, guard Yohann Sissoko answered, nailing a game-saving three-pointer to seal the Owls' first win of the season against Boston College on Monday night.
Florida Atlantic men's basketball kicked off its first official home game of the 2025-26 season in front of a sold-out Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, marking the third time a power conference opponent has played at "The Elly" in four years.
After an electric 42-point win against Florida Tech on Thursday, along with a 24-point performance from guard Devin Vanterpool, head coach John Jakus and his team were excited to bring winning back to paradise.
"I don't know that this [game] was pretty, maybe that's just part of it, but what our guys did show is some real fight and resolve," said Jakus. "When we were dead in the water, I thought between their heart and our fan spirit, there was a chance to get back in it, and I'm really thankful for that.
