No. 20 Florida Atlantic bombs Tulsa for 7th straight win

Florida Atlantic’s Johnell Davis tallied 24 points and five rebounds, Alijah Martin had 16 points and nine boards, and the No. 20 Owls blew past the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 102-70 Saturday night in Boca Raton, Fla.

Davis, who sank North Texas with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer Sunday in the Owls’ previous game, went 8-for-12 from the floor and 3-for-4 from deep, and also drilled all five of his free-throw attempts.

The American Athletic Conference’s third-leading scorer, Davis reached the 20-point mark for the ninth time.

Three other players scored in double figures for Florida Atlantic (18-4, 8-1) — Vladislav Goldin with 18 on 7-for-10 shooting, Nick Boyd with 13 and six rebounds, and Bryan Greenlee with 11.

The Owls made 32 of 60 shots (53.3 percent) and were 10 of 26 (38.5 percent) from beyond the arc. They owned a 29-8 edge in fastbreak points.

Florida Atlantic is 9-1 at home.

The AAC’s second-leading scorer and top-scoring freshman in the nation, Tulsa’s PJ Haggerty, produced 25 points, four rebounds and four assists.
