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.

"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 head coach John Jakus.

After a 42-point win against Florida Tech, with a 24-point performance from guard Devin Vanterpool, the team was excited to continue winning.
