DANCING IN PARADISE

DANCING IN PARADISE – Florida Atlantic’s men’s basketball team will continue the best season in program history in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. The Owls earned an automatic spot in the “Field of 68” by winning the Conference USA tournament championship with a dominating victory in Frisco, Texas. It has been so much fun to watch this team capture the attention of the South Florida community and earn national attention.

You have been a big part of the team’s success this year, creating an incredible advantage with your presence and loud cheers of support at each home game!

Continue your support by attending the NCAA Tournament in Columbus, OH. The NCAA tournament will take place March 17 – 19. We need you in the stands to help continue our Owls success.

REGISTER FOR FREE TICKETS

All students who apply for this opportunity will be notified if they are selected to participate in this sponsored trip.

This will be our team’s second appearance in the NCAA Tournament, which is nicknamed “The Big Dance.” And it’s just another accomplishment in a tremendous season. In addition to earning their first national ranking, the Owls won the conference’s regular season championship, have set a program record for victories – 31 and counting – went undefeated at home (17-0) and won 20 straight games from Nov. 14 through Jan. 28.
FAU has been Winning in Paradise all season and now I hope everyone enjoys March Madness!
