BOCA RATON (FAUSports.com) – The Florida Atlantic University men’s basketball team’s 2021-22 season will continue in the postseason. The Owls have accepted an invitation to play in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI).
The CBI is scheduled for March 19-23 at the Ocean Bank Center in Daytona Beach, Fla. The date, time and opponent for FAU’s first-round contest will be announced soon.
“We’re excited to continue our season in the CBI,” FAU head coach Dusty May said. “Our program has earned this opportunity and we look forward to playing quality competition.”
This will mark FAU’s first time in the CBI and will be just the Owls’ fourth postseason tournament appearance. FAU has previously advanced to the 2002 NCAA Tournament, the 2011 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and the 2019 CollegeInsiders.com Tournament (CIT).
The Owls have had a historic season. FAU, currently 19-14 overall, secured a fourth-straight winning season under head coach Dusty May, a first-time accomplishment in the 34-year history of the program. The Owls also recorded 11 Conference USA victories, most the school has ever had in C-USA. The 19 victories are tied for the second-best win total in school history.
One victory in the CBI would give the program its third 20-win season and just the second as a member of NCAA Division I.
