The Owls head across Alligator Alley to Fort Myers to tangle with the Eagles. The last time FAU was in action was in Las Vegas on Dec. 23, picking up a thrilling 96-95 OT win against Arizona in what was arguably the biggest regular-season win in school history.
FAU has won 3 in row since losing to Illinois 98-89 in New York City, and the Owls have covered 7 of the past 8 games while cashing the Over at a 3-1-1 clip in the previous 5 contests.
FGCU, a.k.a. “Dunk City”, has won the past 2 games, including a win and cover against Georgia Southern on Dec. 19 in the most recent game against a Division I opponent. However, the Eagles are a dismal 2-8 against the spread (ATS) in the past 10 games overall.
