Florida Atlantic University (AKA “FAU”) is a large university located in Boca Raton, Fla. You are probably familiar with FAU because it hired the mighty Lane Kiffin as its head football coach just a couple of years ago. FAU (8-4) is home to over 30,000 students and the basketball team competes in Conference-USA with schools such as Rice, Western Kentucky, UAB and Louisiana Tech. Just like seemingly every other non-conference team the Illini compete against, they have an uncommon team name: the Owls.
