Dan Rorabaugh, USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida

Can Florida Atlantic do it again? The FAU men's basketball team begins its 2024 NCAA Tournament today with a first-round showdown against Northwestern, looking to repeat last year's unbelievable run to the Final Four.

No. 8 seed FAU (25-8) finished second in their first season in the American Athletic Conference, falling to Temple in the AAC Tournament semifinals. Coached by Dusty May, the Owls feature one of the top scoring offenses in the nation at 82.5 points per game. That attack is paced by junior guard Johnell Davis, the AAC co-player of the year, 7-foot-1 junior center Vladislav Goldin and junior guard Alijah Martin.

Northwestern (21-11) earned a No. 9 seed after finishing fourth in the Big Ten, but it has lost three of its last four games. Coached by Chris Collins, the Wildcats' offense runs through point guard Boo Buie, who averages over 19 points and 5 assists per game.
