The Florida Atlantic Owls and Jacksonville State Gamecocks face off on Friday in a college basketball showdown at the Mitchell Center.

The Jacksonville State Gamecocks faced off with the Alabama Crimson Tide in the first game of the season and it didn’t go well. The offense could only manage 26 points in the first half, and in the second half they allowed the Crimson Tide to score 45 points. One big problem for Jacksonville State is they don’t really have a star player, and in the first game they didn’t have enough role players step up. Jacksonville State was led by Demaree King who put up 15 points, and in this game they are going to need him to be even better. It will be interesting to see if Jacksonville State gives more playing time to Amanze Ngumezi in this game. In only 12 minutes played in the first game he had eight points and four rebounds. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Florida Atlantic Owls who lost their first game of the season against the South Alabama Jaguars by two points. The Owls looked good in the second half outsourcing the Jaguars 39-30, but they were down by 11 points at half, and they had dug themselves too large of a hole. B.J. Greenlee has been the best offensive player for Florida Atlantic after going for 25 points and five assists in the first game. Kenan Blackshear also had a big game putting up 15 points and seven rebounds in 31 minutes of play. This is an offense that could be strong this season, they just need a more balanced attack. 

The under is 13-3-1 in FAU 's last 17 neutral site games. FAU is 5-13 against the spread in their last 18 Friday games. The under is 8-2 in Jacksonville State’s ‘last 10 non-conference games. 

Jacksonville State’s offense didn’t look great in the first game and that is going to continue in this game. Look for a low scoring game that stays well under the posted total. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
