PROGRAM OVERVIEW

FAU basketball operates from Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, a public research institution founded in 1961 with an enrollment of 40,171 students. Coach John Jakus directs a 15-player roster competing in the American Athletic Conference, where the Owls currently hold a 6-7 conference record in their winter season.

The Owls posted a 14-12 overall record while averaging 81.0 points per game against opponents yielding 75.3 points per contest. FAU's home dominance has been pronounced with a 9-5 mark inside Baldwin Arena compared to a struggling 5-7 record on the road, suggesting the team has found success in familiar surroundings but faced consistency challenges away from Boca Raton. This 15-point differential between home and away winning percentages indicates a meaningful advantage for FAU when hosting conference matchups, a factor Jakus will likely emphasize as the season progresses.
