Men's Basketball: Florida Atlantic Bounces Back in Overtime Thriller, 83-78
Florida Atlantic men's basketball secured its first win of the season against Boston College on Monday night, with guard Yohann Sissoko hitting a game-saving three-pointer in overtime.
The team played in front of a sold-out Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, marking the third time a power conference opponent has visited "The Elly" in four years.
Following a 42-point win against Florida Tech, head coach John Jakus and his team were eager to continue their winning streak. Guard Devin Vanterpool had a notable 24-point performance in the previous game.
"I don't know that this [game] was pretty, maybe that's just part of it, but what our guys did show is some real fight and resolve," said Jakus. "When we were dead in the water, I thought between their heart and our fan spirit, there was a chance to get back in it, and I'm really thankful for that.
