Kanaan Carlyle Scores 17 to Lead Florida Atlantic to 89-78 Victory over Memphis
Florida Atlantic's defense forced 15 turnovers, blocked nine shots, and out-rebounded Memphis 46-29 to secure their 11th win of the season, coach Jakus said.
- On Jan. 11, 2026, Florida Atlantic beat Memphis 89-78 at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, with Kanaan Carlyle scoring 17 points.
- FAU's defense forced 15 turnovers and produced nine blocks and eight steals, with the rebounding edge helping turn misses into 19 second-chance points.

- The result halted Memphis Tigers' three-game run and was described as perhaps FAU's most impressive victory; Memphis hosts Temple on Jan. 14 while Florida Atlantic Owls face Wichita State on Jan. 15.
