After winning the Conference USA Championship game on Saturday against University of Alabama-Birmingham, Florida Atlantic has earned a spot in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, or ‘“March Madness”. The last time the Owls were in March Madness was back in 2002 and were ranked 15th seed, losing 86-78 to 2-seed University of Alabama in the opening round.
On Selection Sunday, the Owls and FAU fans gathered at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, as it was revealed as they had earned the 9-seed in the East region.
This slates the Owls to take on the 8-seed University of Memphis Tigers (26-8, 13-5 AAC).
