What channel is FAU basketball on today? Time, TV info vs Texas A&M in ESPN Events Invitational
The Florida Atlantic men's basketball team will spend Thanksgiving at Disney World. Well, the Wide World of Sports Complex, to be precise, as coach Dusty May and the Owls will play in the eight-team ESPN Events Invitational through the weekend.
FAU (3-1) opened against Butler (3-2), which is coming off a 74-54 loss to Michigan State, in its tournament opener Thursday. After a 91-86 win, they face No. 13 Texas A&M (5-0) on Friday's semifinals. The Aggies beat Penn State (4-1) 89-77 on Thursday. The Owls will play in a third game on Sunday, and they're hoping that's Iowa State (5-0) or Virginia Tech (4-1) in the championship.
FAU, a surprise Final Four team last season, fell to No. 20 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll after its first loss of the season, 61-52 at home to Bryant. Center Vladislav Goldin enters the tournament as FAU's leading scorer at 15 points per game, with guards Nick Boyd (10.7 ppg) and Johnell Davis (10 ppg) close behind.
The other teams in the ESPN Events Invitational field are VCU (3-2) and Boise State (2-2).
