The Florida Atlantic Owls aren’t nearly as dominant on the road as they are at home, and they’re running into an FIU club that has been up and down but has been competitive. The FIU Golden Panthers win at home by an average of 7.3 points while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field. This is a rivalry game. I’ll take a shot with the free buckets.
