Home Court Advantage: FAU Basketball Put A Picture Of The Rizzler On The Jumbotron Behind The Basket To Distract Their Opponent At The Free Throw Line

Since moving back to Florida, I have had the cool opportunity to broadcast some Florida Atlantic Owls basketball games during the early portion of the college basketball season. The FAU women's team is off to a solid 3-1 start, and you can point to one reason for their current three-game winning streak...

The Rizzler.

It doesn't matter who you are, staring at THE RIZZLER while you are at the free throw line makes knocking down your shots very, very difficult. The Curtain of Distraction at Arizona State has nothing on the young fella. I mean, look at the score in the game above. FAU had Bethune-Cookman rattled, and having to deal with the TikTok star during your free throws makes it even harder!

The social media world can't get enough of The Rizzler. In fact, the ESPN main Instagram and TikTok page even picked up this clip.

You know him as The Rizzler, the Jumbotron distraction in the back...
