Men's Basketball: Florida Atlantic Wins in Overtime Thriller

Florida Atlantic men's basketball team secured their first win of the season against Boston College on Monday night, with an 83-78 overtime victory.

Guard Yohann Sissoko was the hero, making a game-saving three-pointer to seal the win in front of a sold-out crowd at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena.

"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.

The team's performance was a testament to their determination, coming back from a tough spot to win the game, thanks in part to the energy of their fans.
