Men’s Basketball Takes National Stage in Sweet 16

The Owls are Dancing on Broadway!

Florida Atlantic’s men’s basketball team continues its run in the NCAA Tournament tonight in New York City. The Owls play the No. 4 seed Tennessee Volunteers in a “Sweet 16” matchup at Madison Square Garden. The game tips off at approximately 9 p.m. and airs on TBS.

FAU fans have embraced March Madness and will be out in force, either at MSG or at watch parties across South Florida, to cheer on the team. Click here for event locations.

In a historic season, this marks yet another first for the program: our first game at the venue nicknamed The World’s Most Famous Arena. The ninth-seeded Owls have already secured the first two NCAA Tournament wins in school history with dramatic triumphs over Memphis and Fairleigh Dickinson this past weekend in Columbus, Ohio. 

The Owls, who are making only their second appearance in the NCAA Tournament, have put together an outstanding 33-3 record and are now one of 16 teams still standing as the 2022-23 college basketball season enters its final two weekends of play. 

Good luck to the players, coaches and entire basketball staff.

Go Owls!
