Good morning, Owls Family. Florida Atlantic Athletics announced Wednesday that it has sold out of men's basketball season tickets for the second consecutive season.

One of the nation's winningest programs over the last two seasons, the Owls have played before sold-out crowds at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena for 21 consecutive games. Under first-year head coach John Jakus, this streak will extend into 2024-25.

🗣"The Elly has become one of the toughest places to play in the country, and it's one of the toughest tickets in the tri-county. This is a tribute to our fans and students…” - Brian White, Vice President and Director of Athletics

The Owls improve to 3-9-4, 2-4-2 AAC after facing Temple on Thursday evening. This marked the second time these two teams have faced each other in program history. FAU now remains undefeated against Temple. Florida Atlantic also added another shutout to the season sheet, their fifth of the year.

🔼  No Sad Sacks. Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season is in the books, with six former Florida Atlantic Owls seeing action.
 
#91 Trey Hendrickson | DE | Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals picked up a key 21-14 win over their AFC North rival Cleveland Browns thanks very much in part to Hendrickson’s successful pursuits to the quarterback, tying his career-high with five QB hits. For the second week in a row and third time on the year, Hendrickson notched a multi-sack game, moving him up to seven sacks total in the same amount of games this season, fourth in the entire NFL.
Bengals' Record: 3-4
Next Game: vs. Philadelphia – Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
