With only three games remaining in the regular season, Florida Atlantic men’s basketball is running out of time to clinch a first round bye in the conference tournament that is beginning in three weeks’ time.
All 14 teams in Conference USA are set to compete in the tournament, however, with Southern Mississippi imposing a postseason ban on themselves, the top 11 teams will get a first-round bye while the 12th and 13th seeds will compete for the chance to advance.
FAU (7-21, 5-10 Conference USA), currently sitting 12th in the standings, will play host to rival Florida International (12-16, 6-9 Conference USA), which has lost seven of its last eight games.
