This postseason tournament appearance is FAU’s first since 2011 and third in program history.
FAU’s basketball season isn’t over, as it’s accepting a bid to play in the CIT (Collegeinsider.com Postseason Tournament.
The CIT was created in 2009 and gives mid-major teams like FAU more of an opportunity to participate in postseason play.
FAU finished the regular season 17-15 (8-11 Conference USA), going above .500 for the first time since 2010-11. Reaching that winning record was especially difficult for the Owls this season, however, as they’ve overcome multiple injuries to key contributors on the roster.
