After two wins thus far during the NCAA Tournament, FAU men’s basketball (33-3, 18-2 C-USA) now has its eyes upon its next challenge, the University of Tennessee Volunteers (25-10, 11-7 SEC) in the Sweet 16.

The Owls are coming off a win against 16-seed, and favorites to be this tournament’s Cinderella story, Fairleigh Dickinson University 78-70, and are looking to continue a fairy tale run of their own.
