The Owls’ season screeched to a halt two victories shy of the ultimate glory in college...
A San Diego State fan cheers before a NCAA Tournament national semifinal game at NRG Stadium on Saturday, April 1, 2023, in Houston.Florida Atlantic guard Bryan Greenlee, minutes removed from a collective roar in NRG Stadium that capped the first game of the Final Four, sat in a somber Owls locker room Saturday night and bemoaned what might have been – at the same offering thanks for one unforgettable season.
The upstart Owls, who already had experienced their first four NCAA Tournament victories in program history this season, led by 14 points five minutes into the second half. They led for nearly 32 of the game’s 40 minutes in trying to win their 12th straight game. In one more example that sports often is the ultimate in unscripted drama, it was Boyd who coolly made the game-winning shot in the Owls’ first NCAA Tournament victory in program annals, when they slipped past Memphis 66-65 in the opening round on March 17 in Columbus, Ohio.
“You’re going to see us in the same position, and it’s going to be a different outcome, I promise you.”
