Florida Atlantic takes a look back at another successful men's basketball season
Good morning. FAU men's basketball team has concluded another highly successful campaign, resulting in 25 wins, marquee non-conference victories, and consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
Entering a season under a national spotlight for the first time following the legendary 2023 Final Four run coupled with a move to the American Athletic Conference, the Owls remained one of the best teams in the nation on their way to a 25-9 record, the second-most wins in team history, and an AP Top 25 ranking that lasted 16 consecutive weeks.
Go here for the full retrospective, including a video that will have you pumped for next season.

🎉 Trivia Answer
Answer: The red team beat the white team in last year’s spring football game, 42-17.
Following the game, head coach Tom Herman sat down to talk about the culture at FAU and the expectations he wanted to set.
“I hope that the people here have seen a change in physicality, a change in effort, and a change in the ability to love one another and play for each other to put yourself aside and play for the guy next to you,” said Herman.
🦉 Have a great Wednesday, y’all
