The Owls will be taking part of the Conference USA tournament for the fourth consecutive year.
Florida Atlantic men’s basketball defeated the University of Texas at San Antonio 73-66 Thursday night in Boca Raton to clinch its fourth straight Conference USA tournament berth.
The Owls (10-17, 6-10 Conference USA) saw what was a 16-point second-half lead cut to seven points with 1:54 remaining in the game, but FAU knocked down three of its last four shots and five of its last six free throws to close it out.
FAU shot 44 percent from the field, including 5-of-17 from three-point land.
