FAU Owls
How 'bout dem Owls?? Up and coming University about 3 miles from my door here in East Boca Raton. Have only had a basketball program since the '80s. Nice to see their success here locally. You might have heard about their football program...Lane Kiffin was the head coach for 3 years not long ago.
Go Owls!!
Greg Joseph went to FAU. Actually grew up in Boca Raton.

Going to be fun in the big town tonight! Wife and I are having a watch party at home with 3 other couples, but the bars will be busting at the seams around Boca Raton. Go Owls!
Damn Sticky, tough way to lose. Really thought FAU had the game.
Uconn grad, looking for #5
Only school to win the mens and womens championship in the same year.... UCONN has done it twice.
If I didn't know better Sticky, I would say you must be a Vikings fan.
Sorry man, great game, really thought FAU had it. So with karma and all, Vikes should win it all, right, thats how it works, right?
Tough loss.

Truth! lol, I can't have nice things.
Final 4 is one of the grandest events in sports, losing that way is just brutal
Thoughts & Prayers @StickyBun

For some reason I love Divisional Rd of NFL Post-Season a lot.

Ha, it was fun regardless. We then watched Miami get handled in the 2nd game. It was a great night to be outside in the backyard watching basketball and having some cocktails.

No team in NCAA hoops history has ever won 5 championships in 25 years...

UCLA won 7 in a row from 1967 to 1973. They won a total of 11 NCAA championships – 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, and 1995.
Maybe I am reading your statement wrong, not sure.
