Owls' Weekend in Review
On Sunday, the Owls (3-4) came all the way back from a double-digit second half deficit, cutting a 12-point disadvantage down to one, but late free throws from James Madison gave the visitors a 69-65 win. Michael Forrest led the team in scoring for the fourth time in seven games, with 18, and paces the Owls at 16.9 per night, ranking him sixth in C-USA. Alijah Martin's 12 on Sunday put him in double digits for the fifth time this season, which surpasses his true freshman full-year total of four. Giancarlo Rosado did the same, also scoring 12, his third double-digit effort of the year after two a season ago.

Owls' Opponent in Preview
Last time out, Stetson (2-3) fell by two to Campbell, after defeating Lamar by one eight days prior. The Hatters were predicted to finish eighth in the preseason ASUN poll, and Rob Perry – who leads the team thus far at 15.0 PPG – was chosen to the preseason All-Conference team.

Opponent History
The Owls and Hatters have a storied history, of 35 previous matchups, with Stetson holding a slim 19-16 edge. In Boca Raton, it's a 9-6 Owl advantage, including wins in five of the last seven matchups at FAU Arena. This past December, the Hatters took a 78-69 win in DeLand.
