Owls' 2020-21 in Review
The Owls are coming off their third straight winning season under head coach Dusty May, and return the backcourt of Bryan Greenlee and Michael Forrest (all 23, and 17 of 23 starts, respectively last year), as well as grad student Everett Winchester, who drew 14 starts himself. In fact, 11 of 14 letterwinners are back, and five newcomers will join them, including two with Division I experience in forward Bitumba Baruti (65 games in three DI seasons, the last two at East Carolina) and 7-1 center Vladislav Goldin (10 games in his freshman campaign at Texas Tech).

Owls' Opponent in Preview
Lynn, located just west of the FAU campus in Boca Raton, is a DII member of the Sunshine State Conference, picked to finish fifth in the league's preseason coaches' poll. The Fighting Knights did not play in 2020-21 due to COVID-19, last posting a 12-15 record the year prior. Back is Second Team All-SSC selection Christian Peevy, the team's leading scorer that season at 18.6 PPG, along with point guard Brandon Bornelus (12.0 per game).
