Florida Atlantic's magical season will carry on into the Elite Eight.
Florida Atlantic guard Johnell Davis brings the ball up court as Tennessee guard Josiah-Jordan James defends during the second half of a Sweet 16 college basketball game in the East Regional of the NCAA tournament at Madison Square Garden, Thursday, March 23, 2023, in New York. Florida Atlantic’s magical season will carry on into the Elite Eight.
Tennessee, the East's No. 4 seed, is a veteran team that relies on its physicality, and that was on full display in last week’s Round of 32 win over Duke. And early in the game vs. FAU, Tennessee’s defense was imposing its will. Tennessee shot just 31.3% from the field in the first half and was only able to build a 27-22 lead at the break. In the second half, FAU switched up its approach. The Owls attacked the rim. Eight of their first 12 second-half shots were two-point attempts and the Owls began to make some shots and chip away at the lead.
