Meanwhile, FDU's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their fifth straight loss. They took a 74-63 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Dolphins. FDU didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
