62–55Sweet Sixteen
About This Game
Florida Atlantic's stunning upset of Tennessee wasn't built on offensive dominance—it was constructed through grit, discipline, and suffocating defense. The Owls held the Volunteers to just 33 percent shooting, including a brutal 6-for-23 night from three-point range. While FAU's own 33 missed shots reflect the struggle both teams faced, the Owls' commanding 43-37 rebound advantage proved decisive in the 62-55 final. Tennessee's 47 missed shots to FAU's 33 told the story: the Owls made the most of every look, capitalizing on second-half momentum that propelled them toward the Elite Eight. Coach Dusty May's squad showed remarkable composure, with Johnell Davis leading the way on a night when forcing the issue would have been easy. The win—the greatest in FAU history—was a masterclass in controlling tempo and executing under pressure. Watch every play of this David-versus-Goliath victory visualized as custom Gameprint wall art.
