The Bulldogs were 0-3, by all accounts, against Top 10 competition. They lost to then-No. 1 Indiana by 43 in 2012, lost to then-No. 3 Ohio State by 38 in 2013 and lost to then-No. 5 Dukes under 38 in 2015.
Reflect on the week for Bryant coach Phil Martelli Jr. His team lost at Rutgers on Sunday. He experienced his former boss – now head coach Jared Grasso – resigning on Monday. He was promoted to head coach on Wednesday, losing the interim title he held in Grasso’s absence. His team lost Thursday at undefeated Boston University.
And now, the most significant victory in the history of the program.
FAU raced out to a quick 10-2 lead. The Owls started 4 for 6. They went 4 of their next 25. And that cold shooting never stopped – not on 3’s, not on layups, not even on free throws.
The Bulldogs went on runs of 11-0 and 8-0 in the first half and went into the break down 29-26 despite shooting 32%, which was 1% better than the Owls’ first 20 minute.
Bryant didn’t shoot much better in the second half. But the FAU Bulldogs shot even worse.
