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 an overtime thriller.

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 aimed to continue their winning streak.

"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.

Jakus expressed gratitude for the team's resilience and the fan spirit, which helped them get back in the game when they were struggling.
