Last week, the No. 9 Florida Atlantic Owls punched their ticket to their first Sweet 16 appearance in school history. 

On Thursday night, they reached their first Elite Eight after upsetting the No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers, 62-55, as their Cinderella story continues. 

The Owls used a 20-4 run over six minutes and change in the second half to pull away from the Vols, and though Tennessee tried making a run at the end, some clutch buckets for FAU cemented their spot in the next round.

One of the deepest teams in the tournament from the start, FAU saw all but one player of the nine that stepped foot on the court score at least two points. Three players reached double digits, with Johnell Davis leading the way. 

Both teams played sturdy defense, but FAU’s was better. They disrupted players like Olivier Nkamhoua (2 of 9, six points) from getting good shots up, and the Owls used it to their advantage.

The Owls have had to beat No. 8 Memphis in the First Round before getting tested by No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson in the Second Round after their historic upset over No. 1 Purdue. 

But this test against Tennessee, in the world’s most famous arena Madison Square Garden no less, was easily the toughest matchup they’ve had to save to this point. But a full team effort from the Owls keeps the season alive. 

In the box score, Davis was FAU’s leading scorer with 15 points on just 3 of 9 from the field, but 9 of 10 from the charity stripe. Nicholas Boyd also had 12 points on 5 of 11 from the field, including two three-pointers, while Michael Forrest came off the bench with 11 points.

For Tennessee, Josiah-Jordan James and Jonas Aidoo co-led the Vols with 10 points apiece. James was the only starter in double digits, while Santiago Vescovi had nine points and Uros Plavsic had eight. 

As a team, the Vols shot just 33.3% from the field and 26.1% from three-point territory. 

With the Vols heading back to Knoxville, FAU will move on to face No. 3 Kansas State, who defeated No. 7 Michigan State earlier at The Garden in a thrilling overtime battle. 

Americans saw a number of viral moments during Thursday's House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing focused on security concerns surrounding the use of TikTok in the U.S. 

During the hearing, lawmakers questioned TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew over allegations the platform may be being used by China to spy on Americans, its ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the inappropriate content contained within it.

In one viral moment, Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., played a video posted by one TikTok user who threatened to shoot up the hearing, specifically naming members of the committee, that has remained viewable for 41 days.

In the video, a cartoon of a handgun can be seen firing bullets with the caption, "Me asf at the House Energy and Commerce Committee on 3/23/2023."

Cammack noted the video was in violation of TikTok's safety guidelines, and questioned how Chew and the leadership of the platform were capable of protecting Americans' data if they were incapable of policing such content.

In another instance, Rep. Neal Dunn, R-Fla., asked Chew if ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, had "spied on American citizens," but the CEO didn't give a direct answer.

"I don't think that spying is the right way to describe it," he responded.

At a separate point in the hearing, Rep. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, pressed Chew over whether employees at ByteDance had access to Americans' user data. He avoided directly answering the question, telling Latta it was a "complex topic."

"Yes or no? It's not that complex. Yes or no? Do they have access to U.S. data?" Latta said. Chew then appeared to admit China did have access to such data up until a certain point.

On another occasion, Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., pressed Chew on whether he agreed that the Chinese government had persecuted the country's Uyghur minority population in the country's western region of Xinjiang. 

Chew responded by saying that all human rights abuses were "deeply concerning" to hear about, before Lesko interrupted him and asked him again specifically about the Uyghurs. 

Chew, again, didn't answer the question, and ultimately avoided answering a total of four times.
