Florida Atlantic, playing in just its second NCAA Tournament, moved within a victory of the Final Four by using a second-half push to beat fourth-seeded Tennessee.
The Florida Atlantic Owls celebrate after defeating the Tennessee Volunteers during the Sweet Sixteen round of the NCAA Men's Tournament held at Madison Square Garden on March 23, 2023. When the horn sounded on the greatest victory in the history of Florida Atlantic athletics, Nick Boyd and Bryan Greenlee hopped onto the press row table to celebrate.
The Owls used a second-half push led by Michael Forrest to upset fourth-seeded Tennessee 62-55 on Thursday night in the Sweet 16. The Volunteers , who were looking for the second Elite Eight appearance in program history, shot just 33% — including 6 of 23 from 3-point range. Josiah-Jordan James and Jonas Aidoo scored 10 points apiece.
The game was slogging along at Tennessee’s style and pace. The No. 1 defense in the country, according to KemPom metrics, out of the rugged Southeastern Conference was making FAU work hard for shots."We got great shots even in the first half when they were in us a little bit," Boyd said. "The second half, they dropped, we broke it open a little bit."
Brandon Weatherspoon’s putback of a 3-point miss off the side of the backboard made it 51-41 with 6:47 left. Owls fans serenaded May's wife, Anna, with an "F-A-U!" chant before finally filing out of The Garden.
