FAU, now 34-3, is in the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. They have no plans to stop here. After dropping Tennessee, the Owls tell the country 'they belong.'
said the Tennessee’s length, which led to multiple turnovers by deflection, was the biggest problem they faced in the first half.But they also weren’t backbreaking. The Vols never built their lead past nine and by halftime, it was down to five. At halftime, Boyd said the Owls’ locker room was “laid back.” They remembered their first-round game against“Their defense is great,” Boyd said of Tennessee. “They put a lot of pressure on us at first, and it took a little bit to get used to as a unit.
The Owls had shot just 29 percent from 3 through their first two tournament games, a curiosity for a team that tends to shoot around 37 percent. It seemed like more of the former when the team went 16 minutes between triples in that first half. FAU progressed to the mean in the second half, shooting 38 percent , which was enough to be the foundation of the offense.
