FAU vs. UTSA key players to watch

FAU

Vladislav Goldin: Florida Atlantic's center holds the best field goal percentage in the country, scoring on 70.5% of his shots. If the Owls continue to feed him down low, the 7'1" junior can take over any game they play in.

UTSA

Jordan Ivy-Curry: The UTSA's starting guard has played in eight games this season and has become a key player for the Roadrunners, averaging 17.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. UTSA is a better team with him in the lineup and he'll have to bring his "A" game if they want any chance of upsetting the Owls.

FAU vs. UTSA prediction and pick

If you're a fan of high-scoring games, this one is a must-watch. Both teams are much better offensively than defensively, especially FAU, which ranks 23rd in effective field goal percentage and 138th in opponent effective field goal percentage.

The Owls rank 15th in the country in Floor%, scoring at least one point in 53.8% of their possessions.

UTSA will also contribute to this being a high-scoring game with its pace of play. The Roadrunners rank 23rd in the country in possessions per game, running up and down the court from start to finish.

Let's sit back and root for points in this AAC showdown.
