WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Carrot Top is cheering for the Final Four-bound Florida Atlantic men's basketball team.
Scott Thompson is a 1989 graduate of the College of Business and majored in marketing.
"I'm actually a big sports fan," he said.
Carrot Top added the team is an inspiration to everyone, especially children.
"All these young kids, all these even younger kids that might want to aspire to play basketball or baseball or football or any sport or anything they dream of getting involved in, they can see happen right in front of their eyes," he said. "So you have no idea what an inspiration, not only for the city of Boca Raton and the college of FAU, but the country. Because the country watches this tournament. The world watches this tournament."
Carrot Top said it's a great team with a great coach in Dusty May.
"He's the motivator," he said. "He's the one who keeps all the kids together, keeps them focused, keeps them believing in what they do believe."
