Troy @ Florida Atlantic

Current Records: Troy 3-2; Florida Atlantic 3-2

What to Know

The Troy Trojans will take on the Florida Atlantic Owls on the road at 7 p.m. ET Monday at FAU Arena. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Troy and the UT Martin Skyhawks this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as the Trojans wrapped it up with an 80-67 win.

Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic had enough points to win and then some against the North Dakota Fighting Hawks this past Saturday, taking their game 98-79.

Troy is expected to lose this next one by 5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 2-0 against the spread when expected to lose.

The wins brought both teams up to an identical 3-2. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Troy enters the contest with 11 steals per game on average, good for 17th best in college basketball. But Florida Atlantic comes into the contest boasting the 11th fewest steals given up per game in college basketball at four. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
