The FAU Owls and Northwestern Wildcats will square off in the opening round on Friday. Flor ATL comes into the Tournament on the heels of their Final Four appearance last season, but they aren't the same team. NW head coach Chris Collins is a fantastic coach. His team placed fourth in the Big Ten this season, which is pretty impressive, with only Nebraska, Illinois, and Purdue ahead of them. They are balanced and this Northwestern team that can very well win this game outright and we'll fade the public action who is in love with Flor-ATL.
Play NWEstern in this early Friday tipoff.
