FAU was 1 point away from going down in Round 1 to Memphis, but have not looked back after escaping their 8-9 matchup.
Miami trailed 12th seeded Drake at halftime of their first game, and SDSU was on the ropes until late in their opening round game against Charleston. While Uconn has won each of their games by double digits, they too trailed at halftime vs Iona and again vs St. Mary’s. A wild and unpredictable couple of weeks to say the least, and the excitement will continue on Saturday night.
In a matchup that would be better suited for the NCAA surf championships, the Owls of Florida Atlantic will travel from Boca Raton to Houston to make their first Final 4 appearance in school history. Head Coach Dusty Maye is imploring his team to not celebrate their accomplishments yet, as he likes the three loss Owls chances to go all the way. After the way they handled KState down the stretch in the Elite 8, how can you blame him? Jerome Tang said it was the best team his Wildcats have seen all year, and they clearly aren't afraid of anyone.
