Massachusetts will face West Virginia in the other Hall of Fame Classic game.
It will be the second in-season tournament trip for the Owls, who will also compete in the ESPN Events Invitational at Walt Disney World on Thanksgiving weekend.
FAU finished the 2022-23 season with its first-ever Final Four appearance, a 35-4 record, which led the nation, and a No. 5 ranking in the final coaches poll. Head coach Dusty May, who in just five seasons has already become the program's all-time wins leader, was rewarded with a 10-year contract extension that would pay him a $100,000 bonus for getting the Owls back to the Final Four.
