Florida Atlantic draws the 8th seed heading into this weeks Sun Belt Conference tournament after having been afforded help with the loss of UNO to ULL, and UALR defeating ASU.
They will face MTSU this Wednesday at 1:30PM in the first round.
If the Owls defeat MTSU, and they could face the Panthers again in another a heated match-up on Thursday; providing FIU (4th seed) knocks off ULL (5th seed).
A printable bracket is available Here
The Owls were swept by MTSU during the regular season in Murfreesboro:
Game I 7-2
Game II 5-4
Game III 14-6
Based on his showing in game II, it is likely that Barry Rooks could get the start, as he went 7 1/3 innings, giving up only 2 earned runs in the 2nd contest which MTSU won in the bottom of the ninth on a walk off homer.
All of FAU's postseason games at Troy can be heard live, free of charge, on www.fausports.com. Steve Bishop will call the game from Troy. Fans can also follow the scoring live via GameTracker.
Additionally, the Sun Belt Conference will be offering a paid live video feed on www.sunbeltsports.org.

And Rooks gives-up a lead-off walk to start things off, followed with a fielding by DelGuidice to put two men on early for the Blue Raiders - 1 out.
