For the first time in over 20 years, the FAU Owls are going dancing.
On Saturday night, FAU men’s basketball (31-3, 19-2 C-USA) defeated the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers 78-56 in the C-USA Tournament Championship, earning themselves an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Their victory in the conference championship secured them a spot in “The Big Dance”; However, it will not be revealed until tomorrow, March 12, or “Selection Sunday”, where the Owls will be seeded within the bracket of 68 teams.
Their advance to the NCAA Tournament is the latest of a laundry list of accomplishments the Owls have made this season, including an undefeated home record of 17-0 and the program’s first appearance in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.
