First year under coach Dusty May begins: FAU opens men's basketball season Wednesday

If you show up to the Florida Atlantic men’s basketball season opener on Wednesday and don’t recognize much of the team, don’t worry. It’s not you.

The Dusty May era for FAU begins when the Owls host Florida Tech at 7 p.m. at FAU Arena, and the first-year coach isn’t nearly the only new face.

FAU, projected in the preseason to finish 12th in Conference USA, has 10 newcomers on its roster to go with May and his coaching staff. It’s pretty much a complete refresh of the program after Michael Curry went 39-84 over the past four years coaching the team.
