Women’s Basketball: FAU hopes to make run in Conference USA Basketball Championships

The Owls are coming into the tournament after not winning a single conference game last year.

After its worst season in program history in 2016-2017, FAU women’s basketball has turned it around under first-year head coach Jim Jabir and is ready to potentially make noise in the Conference USA Women’s Basketball Tournament.

The Owls (10-8, 4-3 C-USA) currently rank seventh in the conference, but play key games against teams ahead of them in the standings–Southern Miss, Western Kentucky, and Middle Tennessee–giving them a chance to improve their positioning before the regular season ends.
