BOCA RATON — There were no Final Four banners, flags, T-shirts or caps for sale at the Florida Atlantic University campus bookstore on Tuesday morning.
Still, flying high on FAU’s unexpected winning streak in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, no one seemed to leave disappointed. Students and alumni were still buying FAU-branded items, keeping store staff joyfully occupied.
“Normally we wouldn’t be this busy,” store manager Cheri Pearcey said. “Anybody who comes in the store is leaving with something.”
A new shipment of Final Four gear is expected to fill the racks and be gone quickly on Wednesday. The store has seen a frenzy of students and alumni this week seeking to make purchases to celebrate FAU’s first-ever entry into the Final Four tournament, to be played on Saturday night against San Diego State.
