Shorthanded and struggling are two things that stood out about the Owls last weekend as they were dominated by UAB and Middle Tennessee on the road.
On Thursday, Jeantal Cylla had his first career double-double with a C-USA player of the week worthy 24 points, and 12 rebounds against UTSA.
Cylla was 5-of-6 from long distance in the first matchup with UTEP, posting a career high 25 points.
In that game only two other Owls had more than four points which has been a problem for FAU.
6'3 guard Adonis Filer returned against UTSA after missing last Saturday's game against UAB with a concussion and chipped in eight points in the Owls 79-73 win over the Roadrunners.
