Florida Atlantic University's basketball team has been selected as a No. 8 seed for the NCAA Tournament, a decision that has sparked varied reactions among sports commentators. Some view the seeding as generous, attributing it to the team's impressive Final Four run in the previous season. Others believe that, based on their current resume, the team should consider themselves fortunate to have been included in the tournament at all, suggesting that a No. 11 seed in the First Four would have been more appropriate. Despite the debate, there's a consensus that Florida Atlantic's inclusion in the tournament, albeit at a higher seed than expected, is a notable achievement.
Florida Atlantic got an 8? Last year isn’t supposed to matter. That resume should have made them lucky to be in. Like maybe an 11 in the First Four. Jeez.
Florida Atlantic gets into the NCAA Tournament as a No. 8 seed. Seems a little high, but I would’ve been shocked if Owls were left out altogether.
Eight seed for Florida Atlantic? Wow! I’m just happy they made the field.
