The Beach Boys Making a Final Four Run
It was an unlikely path to the Final Four, but the Florida Atlantic Owls are proving to be a team of destiny. After a slow start to the season, the Owls have turned it up a notch, winning six of their last seven games to punch their ticket to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
The Owls have been led by their senior guard, Marcus Johnson, who has become the team's go-to scorer. Johnson is averaging 17.2 points per game and is shooting an impressive 43 percent from behind the three-point line. He's been a major sparkplug for the team and has been instrumental in helping the Owls get out to big leads in games.
The Owls have also gotten a huge boost from their frontcourt. Center Ryan Miller has been a force in the paint, averaging 10.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Forward Kenneth Foster has been a lockdown defender, using his athleticism and length to disrupt opposing offenses.
The Owls will face a tough test in the Final Four, as they will go up against a talented Duke team. But the Owls have been playing at a high level and if they can keep up their level of play, they could make a deep run in the tournament.
The Florida Atlantic Owls have been on a roll all season long, and now they have a chance to take it one step further and make a Final Four run. Led by their senior guard Marcus Johnson, the Owls have been playing great basketball and have a good chance to make a statement in the tournament. With great performances from their frontcourt and Johnson's leadership, the Owls could be a team to watch in the tournament. It will be a tough battle, but the Beach Boys have the right pieces to make a special run.
