The college basketball season is in full swing, and two teams have already made it to the Elite Eight: Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and Kennesaw State University (KSU). While both teams have had successful seasons, they have achieved this success in different ways.
FAU has relied heavily on transfers from other schools. The Owls have had five transfers from other Division I programs, including two from the Big Ten Conference. This influx of talent has allowed FAU to compete at a higher level and make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
KSU, on the other hand, has had a different approach. The Owls have relied more on homegrown talent, with only two transfers from other Division I programs. This strategy has allowed KSU to develop their own players and build a strong team culture.
Both teams have found success with their respective strategies. FAU has been able to bring in experienced players who can make an immediate impact, while KSU has been able to build a strong team with players who have been with the program for multiple years.
The Elite Eight is a remarkable achievement for both teams, and it is a testament to the different strategies they have employed. FAU has used transfers to bring in experienced players, while KSU has focused on developing their own talent. Both strategies have been successful, and it will be interesting to see which team can make it to the Final Four.
