BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Florida Atlantic University men's basketball team begins a season-long six-game homestand by hosting Holy Cross on Friday, Nov. 29. The game is part of the inaugural Boca Raton Beach Classic. The elimination portion of the tournament will be held on Dec. 1 and 2, with the Owls wrapping up the event against Canisius on Dec. 4. The Owls will be wearing their new "Paradise Vice" for all four contests.

Last Time Out: FAU (2-3) lost to Florida Gulf Coast, 72-70, in overtime last Wednesday night. The Eagles hit a jumper just before time expired to take the win. Michael Forrest led the Owls with 16 points, the fifth different FAU player to lead the team in scoring is as many games this season.

About Holy Cross: Holy Cross (0-5) is making its first trip outside of the Northeast for the tournament. The Crusaders played at Maryland, at New Hampshire, and had three home games prior to Friday.

History: Friday's contest will be the first ever meeting between the Owls and the Crusaders.

Coverage: Live stats and live video will be available at FAUSports.com. In-game updates for the FAU matches will be available at Twitter.com/FAU_Hoops. The game can also be heard on Fox Sports 640AM. Tickets for all of the Boca Raton Beach Classic games can be purchased here.
