No. 21/24 Florida Atlantic Goes for 20th Straight Win
1/27/2023 12:21:00 PM | Men's Basketball
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Only three one-loss teams remain in all of NCAA Division I college basketball, and one has taken the south Florida community by storm. The Florida Atlantic University Owls, who are ranked 21st in the nation in the AP poll and 24th in the USA Today Coaches rankings, are also starting to turn heads on the national level.
The spotlight is well-deserved, as the Owls are riding a 19-game winning streak – the second-longest in the nation and the fourth-longest winning streak in Conference USA history. The Owls are also one win away from tying the program record of 21, which came in the 2010-11 season. FAU will look to keep rolling against WKU on Saturday, Jan. 28.
