The Florida Atlantic University men's basketball team is on its way to Houston.

The Owls' players and coaches boarded their buses this morning to get ready for their first ever apperance in the Final Four.

CBS 12 News caught up with Head Coach Dusty May as the team was leaving Boca Raton. He's well aware that not too many people expected his 9-seeded team to be two wins away from a national title.

As May boarded his bus, he was asked how excited he is to be able to go to the Final Four, and he replied "We're ecstatic to still be playing!"

FAU takes on San Diego State on Saturday night for the right to play the winner of the UConn-Miami game that takes place immediately afterward.

The Hurricanes are also headed to their first Final Four appearance.
