BOCA RATON, Fla. – Behind 46 combined points from Mason Porter-Brown and Josh Harris, Florida Atlantic men's basketball posted a wire-to-wire victory over Keiser in Wednesday night's exhibition matchup on Abessinio Court at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, 87-76.

THE BEGINNING
The Owls started the game out on a 10-2 run and extended the lead to 15-4 on a Porter-Brown 3-pointer and Harris putback. Harris (six) and Porter-Brown (five) had 11 of FAU's first 15 points leading into the first media timeout. Porter-Brown hit another 3, as part of a four-point play, to push the lead to a dozen, 19-7, at the 13:30 mark.

THE TURNING POINT
The Owls' lead stayed in double digits for the remainder of the first half. A 7-0 run heading into the final media timeout pushed the lead to 17 (33-16), and a Kanaan Carlyle 3-pointer made it 38-18 with just over two minutes before the break. Harris' 14 and Porter-Brown's 11 led all scorers toward the Owls' 44-24 advantage at the half.

THE FINISH
Porter-Brown got the scoring started in the second, skying on an alley-oop assisted by Harris. Fawaz "Tacko" Ifaola followed with one of his own (from Carlyle), and a Porter-Brown 3-pointer and layup made it a 20-point lead once again. The Seahawks cut it to 12 at 55-43, but the Owls scored 13 of the next 18 points, including a 3 from Zion Sampaio at the end of the stretch, to make it 68-48. The largest lead would end up being 24 (82-58), on another Sampaio make from long distance.
