Alijah Martin scored six points during a crucial 36-second span of overtime as No. 23 Florida Atlantic edged past pesky UTSA 112-103 on Sunday afternoon in San Antonio.

With the score at 96-all during the extra session, Martin stole the ball and made a layup and a free throw. He then hit the first of his two 3-pointers in overtime, where he scored nine of his points.

Martin finished with 26 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals. Johnell Davis -- who forced overtime with three free throws after being fouled with 16 seconds left -- had 34 points and seven rebounds.

Brandon Weatherspoon had 21 points and six boards and Nick Boyd recorded 12 points and six assists for the Owls (15-4, 5-1 American Athletic Conference), who routed UTSA 106-66 on Feb. 23, 2023, last time the teams met.

The Owls shot 38-for-73 (52.1 percent) overall and hit 17 of 35 attempts (48.6 percent) from behind the arc.

A 16-point favorite, FAU won its fourth straight game against the Roadrunners and moved to 11-6 in the all-time series' history.

UTSA went 25 of 32 (78.1 percent) from the foul line.

In the game's first 1:25 of play, UTSA let the nationally-ranked visitors know that it would not be an easy day of AAC play.

Wyatt canned a pair of treys while Dre Fuller Jr. added one in a 9-0 start. The Roadrunners made five of their first six shots to lead 13-8 at the first media timeout.

Aided by a Class A technical foul against Weatherspoon at 10:17, UTSA built its advantage to 36-20 as Wyatt and Carlton Linguard Jr. each hit a trey.

The Owls made seven of eight shots to cut their deficit to 42-38, but Tucker sank four free throws to leave UTSA with a 53-49 halftime lead.

UTSA led by seven early in the second half, and after FAU rallied down the stretch, the Roadrunners needed five straight points to move ahead 91-88 in the final minute, setting up Davis' game-tying free throws.
