The Florida Atlantic Owls have made history with their recent win over the Tennessee Volunteers in the NCAA Tournament. The Owls, who had never advanced to the Elite Eight before, have now become the first team from the state of Florida to do so.
The game was a thrilling one, with the Owls taking a lead early on and never relinquishing it. They were led by guard Anthony Adger, who scored a game-high 24 points, and forward Xavian Stapleton, who added 18 points and 10 rebounds. The Owls also received strong contributions from guard Michael Forrest and forward Jailyn Ingram, who both scored in double figures.
The Owls were able to take advantage of their size and athleticism, outrebounding the Volunteers 43-31 and shooting 51% from the field. They also made their free throws when it mattered, going 13-for-16 from the line in the second half.
The win was a huge accomplishment for the Owls, who have been on a roll since the start of the season. They have now won 11 of their last 12 games and are looking to make even more history in the Elite Eight.
The Owls will face off against either Gonzaga or UCLA in the Elite Eight, with the winner advancing to the Final Four. No matter what happens, this has already been an incredible season for the Owls, and they should be proud of their accomplishments.
