Honda Classic in full swing at the PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens.

In college sports, South Florida will host two notable basketball games.

The Florida Atlantic are trying to make history in their last home game of the 2022-23 season. If the Owls (25-3, 15-2, US Conference) beat UTEP (13-15, 6-11), not only would they get at least a fraction of the conference regular season title, but they would finish with a perfect record of 17- 0 at home. Both will be first in the program, which is in its last season of C-USA play before moving to the American Athletic Conference.
