The Stetson Hatters and the FAU Owls meet in college basketball action from the FAU Arena on on Wednesday night.
The Stetson Hatters come into this game on the heels of a 60-58 loss at the hands of Campbell last time out. Rob Perry leads Stetson in scoring and rebounding with 15 PPG and 6.6 RPG while Chase Johnston has 13.2 PPg and Christiaan Jones has 10.6 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Stetson so far this season. Josh Smith has 9 PPG and Stephan Swenson has a team-high 5.4 APG as well this season. As a team, Stetson is averaging 61.8 PPG on 40.1% shooting from the field, 32.6% from three and 71.4% from the foul line while allowing 68.6 PPG on 45.8% shooting from the field and 35.8% from three this season.
The FAU Owls will be out to bounce back from a 69-65 loss at the hands of James Madison last time out. Michael Forrest leads FAU in scoring with 16.9 PPG along with 4.1 RPG while Alijah Martin has 13.1 PPG and 5.9 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for FAU, sharing the team lead in rebounding with Vladislav Goldin. Bryan Greenlee also has 8.8 PPG and 3.8 APG as well this season. As a team, FAU is averaging 78.9 PPG on 45.7% shooting from the field, 33.7% from three and 67.4% from the foul line while allowing 74.4 PPG on 45.6% shooting from the floor and 40.8% from three this season.
Stetson is 0-2-2 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 Wednesday games. FAU is 6-18 ATS in their last 24 Wednesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games following an ATS loss.
I get the allure of points as this hasn’t been the best FAU team that’s come out of the gates so far, but this Owls team is still a far better team on the offensive end of the floor than whatever Stetson is bringing to the table. I think that FAU just blows past Stetson here and finds a way to win by at last 6-8 points so I’ll lay the points with FAU here.
