Point Spread: -3.00 | -110.00 Florida Atlantic (Home)
Result: Loss
Northwestern @ FAU 12:15 PM ET
Game# 763-764
Play On: FAU -3.0
Northwestern has been plagued by injuries down the stretch which has certainly affected their play. The Wildcats have lost 3 of their last 4. As opposed to FAU, Northwestern played an extremely weak non-conference schedule in which they faced 1 NCAA Tournament team and that resulted in a 66-57 neutral site loss to Mississippi State.
FAU is an experienced team that reached the Final Four last year. They’re coming off a disappointing loss to Temple during their conference tournament. However, FAU has gone 7-0 SU this season. Being that they’re being asked to cover a small number in this contest their resiliency after a win takes on added significance. The Owls are also 7-1 SU on a neutral floor this season including quality wins over NCAA Tournament teams Texas A&M, Charleston, and Arizona. They also defeated NIT teams Virginia Tech by 34 and Loyola-Chicago by 13. The Owls are a combined 43-9 SU since the start of last season which included 20-3 when facing teams that average 18 or fewer free throw attempts per game, and an even better 15-1 SU if it was after Game 14. Give me FAU minus points.
