Owls return to Boca Raton ahead of trip to first Final Four
The Florida Atlantic Owls returned to campus on Sunday night to a hero's welcome. Fresh off a regional final win over Kansas State at Madison Square Garden, the Owls will spend a couple of days in Boca Raton before departing for Houston and the program's first Final Four.
FAU will take on San Diego State on Saturday at NRG Stadium.
Fans gathered for hours ahead of the Owls return to Baldwin Arena. The players snaked through the crowd with the trophy in hand and remnants of the net they cut down in celebration at the World's Most Famous Arena.
"We are not done yet!," shouted head coach Dusty May to the assembled crowd.
The Owls are currently 1.5 point underdogs to the Aztecs.
