FAU 1 win away from 1st ever Sun Belt Championship!

AI_TheVoice said

College basketball confuses me. Say one team wins the regular season championship, and one team wins the Sun Belt tourney. Who raises the banner the following season as Sun Belt Champs?

Both. There are different banners for Regular Season and Tournament. North Texas hung one for each from last season. Even schools like Duke and North Carolina tend to hang both whenever possible, from what I understand.

There was a book about Jim Valvano's N.C. State years that came out in the 80's, and one of the quotes that stuck with me was "Whenever someone farts at North Carolina, they hang a banner".

The Sun Belt site has FAU clinching the Sun Belt title and getting a 1st round bye at the tournament….in other words fellas, I think it's already been accomplished!

well, we have won, but will have to share it at this point if ULL, Denver or ASU wins both their games and we lose both, but we hold the tie breaker against ASU, and the other 2 are over us. We don't want to share so we need to win at least 1 more game.

GO OWLS!!!

I always hated that the tourney winner goes to the NCAA not the team that put it together for months. A lucky game or two beats an entire season of work? Not fair.

The Owls better keep their eyes on the prize because Troy has been playing very well (beat MTSU and USA). The Trojans probably had the most close and OT games of any team this year, including against FAU the first time. Troy's record could be flipped if it had a little luck.

I agree, it's garbage that a team can catch a break in the tourney and the Sun Belt is repped by FIU in March Madness…how embarrassing would that be!  ;)

I think FIU will go out in the first round… they dont care enough.  The only tiime they play hard all season is when they play us, and our students.

It's Owl Time!
