FGCU returns from the short Christmas break hoping to continue its winning ways at Alico Arena when it welcomes America East foe Maine to Southwest Florida on Thursday night. The Eagles picked up an impressive 83-80 victory over MAC member Toledo prior to the break, improving to 4-1 at home this season. Maine also enters with momentum on its side, as it put together a three-game win streak before heading home for the holiday. Thursday night will mark the first meeting between the two schools and FGCU's first against a member of the America East Conference. The Eagles are 12-8 in non-conference home games since joining Division I in 2007-08 and have won seven of their last nine.

Gerald McLemore 20.2 Justin Edwards 17.3 Alasdair Fraser 13.5
Led by eighth-year head coach Ted Woodward, who was a finalist for the Skip Prosser Man of the Year award in 2010, Maine enters Thursday on a three-game win streak and a record of 6-4. A week ago, Woodward signed a contract extension through 2015. The Bears have picked up a pair of road wins at Atlantic 10 member Rhode Island and Brown, while falling to UConn, Notre Dame and San Diego away from home. Led by the top scoring tandem in the America East (AE), Maine leads the league in scoring at 75.4 points per game, while also holding the top spot in field goal percentage (.481), field goal percentage defense (.418), threepoint percentage (.374), three-point percentage defense (.281), assists (15.8) and assist/turnover ratio (1.4). A three-time America East All-Conference choice, senior Gerald McLemore is first part of the league's top scoring tandem at 20.2 points per game. The AE's active leader in points (1,360), McLemore has four 20-point outings this season en route ranking third in the conference in scoring. Freshman guard Justin Edwards accounts for 17.3 points of the combined 37.5 from the duo. Edwards, a four-time AE Freshman of the Week, was named the 10th-best freshman in the country, according to Jeff Borzello of CBSSPORTS.com on Dec. 12. Edwards is just one spot behind McLemore amongst the AE leading scorers in fourth position. The final Bear averaging double figures, sophomore big man Alasdir Fraser is the reigning America East Player of the Week. Fraser's 13.5 points per game are coupled with a team-best 7.9 boards.

LAST GAME: Balanced Attack Leads FGCU Past Toledo, 83-80
(Box Score on Page 31) FORT MYERS, Fla. - Five different players reached double figures and FGCU came away with three straight defensive stops in the final minute to hold on for a thrilling 83-80 nonconference win over Toledo on Thursday, Dec. 22, at Alico Arena. • Redshirt junior EDDIE MURRAY corralled his first career double-double with 11 points and a career-high 14 rebounds over 36 minutes to highlight a season-best five players that finished in double figures. • Three different players scored a team-high 16 points for the Eagles, as they shot 51 percent (31-61) from the field en route to a season-best 83 points. Freshmen BERNARD THOMPSON and DANTE HOLMES each had 16 points, while sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL did the same off the bench with a trio of three-pointers. • Thompson, Holmes and BRETT COMER were part of a three-member freshmen starting backcourt that went for 41 points, 11 assists and six steals. • It marked the sixth time this season FGCU has played in a game decided by five points or less, but was the first time it came out victorious. • Murray played more minutes than normal due to senior KEVIN CANTINOL missing the game after being issued a flagarant-2 foul against Nebraska on Dec. 7.
NEW COACH, NEW HOPES
On March 31st, the FGCU men’s basketball program got a new look for its 10th season in program history when ANDY ENFIELD was named head coach. Enfield, who spent the previous five years as an assistant with Florida State, is the second head coach in FGCU’s brief history. While at FSU, Enfield was a part of two teams that advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and back-toback clubs that lead the NCAA in defensive field goal percentage.
FRESH START
Coming off a season in which he played just 84 total minutes, redshirt junior EDDIE MURRAY is thriving under the guidance of first-year head coach ANDY ENFIELD. Armed with athleticism and leadership, Murray is providing a youthful roster with careerhighs of 6.7 points and 4.5 points per game. The Fort Myers product is coming off his first career double-double, going for career-bests of 11 points and 14 rebounds over 36 minutes. Murray is shooting a scalding 65 percent (30-46) from the floor over 22 minutes per game. Murray has nearly hit the totals he put up through two full seasons in just 11 games this year.

FROM DOWNTOWN
Fueled by a current five-game stretch in which it has shot 44 percent from three-point land (42-96), FGCU leads the A-Sun at 39 percent clip for the season. Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL leads the conference individually, shooting a scorching 52 percent (27-52) from beyond the arc, while junior SHERWOOD BROWN and freshman FILIP CVJETICANIN are shooting 40 percent or higher with double figure makes. Defensively, FGCU is the top team in the A-Sun at guarding the three. The Green and Blue are limiting opponents to 32 percent from long range.
INSTANT IMPACT
FGCU's freshmen class has wasted little time making an impact, accounting for 46 percent of the scoring, 32 percent of the rebounds and 66 percent of the assists. Led by combo guard BERNARD THOMPSON'S 11.4 points per game, freshmen account for three the Green and Blue's top five scorers. Point guard Brett Comer is the team's top assist man with 5.3 helpers, a mark that ranks second in the A-Sun. Comer is fourth on the team in scoring (8.5) followed by Dante Holmes' 7.9 points. Thompson's 11.4 points are tops among all freshmen in the A-Sun and are joined by 4.5 rebounds per game. Thompson has scored in double figures a team-high eight times, while Comer has done so in four games and both in the same game on four occasions. FILIP CVJETICANIN has reached double figures twice. At least one of the four freshmen has scored in double figures in nine of 11 games.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL
All seven of FGCU's losses on the young season have been by 10 points or less and have come by a combined 27 points. The Eagles' six road opponents so far this season currently all have a winning record and a combined mark of 41-20. A trio of one-point defeats in Dallas against TCU (73-72) and SMU (65-64), and at Nebraska (51-50) headlines the heartbreaking losses.
MUSICAL CHAIRS
First-year head coach ANDY ENFIELD has used seven different lineups through 12 games trying to find the right combination with his young team. Nine different players have started at least one game, while four freshmen have earned a starting nod. No one has started every game, while three freshmen were in the starting five each of the last three games. At least four underclassmen have started in all but two games.
HELPING HAND
Ranking among the leaders in the Atlantic Sun Conference in three statistical categories, freshman BRETT COMER is off to a fast start early in the year. Highlighted by a 10-assist effort against Prairie View and ETSU, Comer is second in the A-Sun and fifth among all freshmen nationally in assists per game (5.3). He has reached double figures in four games, resulting in 8.5 points per game. Comer has led the team in assists in all but one game and rebounding a team-high three times.
HEATING UP
Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL is starting to find his stroke that helped him finish fifth in the nation among all freshmen in 2010-11 with 78 three-pointers. Varidel has made 22 of his last 38 three-point attempts to move into first in the A-Sun in three-point percentage (.519) and second in threes per game (2.4). Varidel's 2.4 threes per game are just below the 2.5 average required to rank among the NCAA leaders in three-point percentage. The Versoix, Switzerland native has made three or more treys in a game six times this season, including four of the last six. He has also reached double-digits four times.
WE'LL PICK YOU UP
Through 11 games, FGCU owns a 311-222 advantage in bench points, good for a +8.1 margin per game. The bench has supplied a double figure scorer in nine games, including the team's leading scorer on six occasions, while supplying 25+ points eight times as a unit. At SMU, sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL poured in 20 points on 6-of-7 from three-point land, while junior SHERWOOD BROWN'S 19 points against Ave Maria to account for the top two efforts off the bench. At Loyola Maryland, FGCU received a season-high 44 points off the bench, highlighted by a gamehigh 17 from Varidel and BERNARD THOMPSON.

WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU
Highlighted by his first career double-double at Miami and a recent 20-point outing against ETSU, junior SHERWOOD BROWN has carried over a strong finish to his sophomore campaign into this season. Brown has reached double figures six times, including three straight games played, leading the team in scoring (11.8) and ranking second in rebounding (5.0) - figures that rank 10th and 18th in the A-Sun, respectively. Sparked by a career-high 26 points in last year's season finale at USC Upstate, Brown finished last February (10 games) with a 11.2 scoring average - more than four points above his season mark. Brown reached double figures in each of the final four games, averaging 18.3 points while leading the team in scoring three times. Brown's strong end to last season was capped by a career-high 26 points at USC Upstate that included seven three-pointers.
SPARK PLUGS
A big part of the early success of the FGCU bench has been the performances by freshman BERNARD THOMPSON and sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL off the pine. Both have also been in the starting lineup, but have turned in seasonhighs off the bench. Thompson has reached double figures all three games off the bench, averaging 14.7 points while shooting 53 percent (16-30). Varidel's 11.1 points per game average off the pine is 3.4 points better than his average in the starting five. Varidel poured in 20 points at SMU, 17 at Loyola Maryland and 16 against Toledo to lead the team in scoring all three times.
STICKY FINGERS
Aside from being the team's second leading scorer (11.4), freshman Bernard Thompson has used is long 6-foot-3 frame to his benefit on the defensive end. Thompson has a steal in nine straight games, ranking second in the A-Sun at 1.9 thefts per game. During the current nine-game streak, Thompson has eight multi-steal performances. Thompson is on pace for 58 steals, a mark that would finish top five in single-season history.
SECOND HALF SURGE
Highlighted by three second half performances of 15 points by three different players, FGCU has turned in some great stretches over the final 20 minutes. At Miami, FGCU tied a program D-1 record for second half points given up by limiting the Hurricanes to 18 points on 4-of-24 from the field. At Nebraska, the Eagles limited the Huskers to just 25 second half points.

HEADCOACHANDYENFIELD BIO
Andy Enfield was appointed the second-ever head coach in Florida Gulf Coast men’s basketball history on March 31, 2011. Enfield will lead the program into its 10th season of existence and first as Division I postseason eligible in 2011-12. “It is with great pleasure that we welcome Andy, Amanda, and the rest of the Enfield family into FGCU, Southwest Florida, and our Eagles’ athletics family,” said Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh. “A quality individual, Andy is a proven winner and brings to FGCU a tremendous wealth of experience and coaching success, on the both the collegiate and professional ranks. “In particular, he possesses a background of demonstrated commitment to excellence both on the court and in the classroom. In turn, we look forward to him providing energized daily leadership to our student-athletes, quickly getting engaged with our growing fan base and rapidly putting us in pursuit of the upper echelon of the Atlantic Sun Conference and beyond.” Enfield spent the previous five years as an assistant coach at Florida State, helping FSU to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments (2009-11), including the Sweet 16 in 2011. Enfield joined head coach Leonard Hamilton’s staff at Florida State in 2006. The Seminoles appearances in the last three NCAA Tournaments were the program’s first since 1998, as they accumulated 31 wins in ACC action over that span – second-most behind Duke – and advanced to the program’s first-ever ACC championship game in 2009. With three straight 20-win seasons to its credit, FSU advanced to the 2011 Sweet 16 in the Southwest Region by defeating No. 10 Texas A&M and No. 2 Notre Dame in Chicago. 14
Recruiting and player development were chief among Enfield’s responsibilities at FSU where its 2010-11 roster boasted 11 top 100 recruits and a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans. In 2009, Basketball Times named Enfield the nation’s “Most Visible Assistant Coach” for the summer recruiting period, while ESPN The Magazine donned him one of “Five Super Assistant Coaches in College Basketball” during the 2008-09 campaign. Enfield’s prowess on the recruiting trails helped the Seminoles produce three straight top 25 classes, highlighted by the 2008 group that ranked in the top 10. A former NBA assistant with the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, Enfield’s influence helped FSU develop five NBA draft picks over five seasons. Al Thornton (2007) and Toney Douglas (2009) were both selected in the first round and earned Associated Press All-American status while leading the ACC in scoring. In 2011, Chris Singleton became the Noles’ third first round pick in the last five years when the Washington Wizards took him with the 18th overall pick. A key ingredient to FSU’s success was its ability to play defense, as the Seminoles became the first team since the 1990-92 Georgetown clubs to lead the nation in defensive field goal percentage two straight seasons from 2009-11. In 2010-11, the Seminoles limited their opponents to 36.3 percent shooting from the field to lead the nation for the second year in a row. With Singleton and Douglas, FSU had the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in two of Enfield’s last three seasons, while 2010 NBA second round pick Solomon Alabi was runner-up.
GAME12 VS. MAINE (DEC. 29)
Prior to his five years in Tallahassee, Enfield began his coaching career in the NBA from 1994-1996 where he served as the shooting coach for the Milwaukee Bucks and head coach Mike Dunleavy. While in Milwaukee, Enfield worked with four-time NBA All-Star Vin Baker and No. 1 overall pick Glenn Robinson. Enfield continued his NBA career as an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics under head coach Rick Pitino from 1998-2000. Enfield worked closely with then-rookie Paul Pierce who went on to win the 2008 NBA Finals MVP award. With the Celtics, Enfield increased his duties on the bench to developing game plans and scouting reports, assisting in practice strategies and offensive player development. Known for his shooting expertise, Enfield helped the Celtics shoot 74.5 percent from the free throw line in 19992000, a 5.3 percent increase from the previous year for the biggest improvement in the league. After his stint with the Boston Celtics, Enfield became a player development consultant for several NBA teams, while running his own company called “All Net Basketball” which focused on improving shooting technique and offensive skills. Over his time as a consultant and shooting instructor, Enfield coached more than 100 NBA players. During his collegiate playing career at Johns Hopkins University, Enfield set the all-time NCAA career free-throw percentage record with a mark of 92.5 percent (431-466). Enfield still holds nine career records at Johns Hopkins and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001. He led the team in scoring in all four seasons en route to a program record 2,025 career points thanks to the top two single-season point totals in school history with 606 points in 1990 and 610 points in 1991.
As good as he was on the court, he was just as sharp in the classroom, as the economics major earned GTE Academic All-America first team honors as a senior and second team honors as a junior. He was the first basketball player at Johns Hopkins to earn an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and was named the NABC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1991. Enfield and his wife Amanda, have two daughters; Aila and Lily, and son, Marcum.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Despite trailing by as many as 16 early in the second half, FGCU fought all the way back and had several chances to take the lead in the final seconds, but came up short in a 73-72 seasonopening loss at TCU on Friday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. Freshman point BRETT COMER quickly pushed the ball up the court and executed a dribble-handoff to Brown, who knocked down a three with 4.8 seconds on the clock to make it a one-point game, at 73-72. FGCU quickly fouled Thorn on the ensuing inbound pass after a timeout to put the All-Mountain West point guard at the foul line. Thorns’ front end of the 1-and-1 missed to the right and the rebound was tipped into the corner where FGCU failed to get off a desperation shot. Three different players reached double figures for the Eagles, led by freshman BERNARD THOMPSON’S (pictured) 15 points off the bench. Thompson poured in 11 of his 15 in the first half, while adding six rebounds and four assists. The catalyst of the second half comeback, Comer had a hand in 24 of FGCU’s 41 points in the final frame. Comer finished the game with 12 points and five assists with all but two of the points coming over the final 20 minutes. Sophomore CHASE FIELER turned in a clean stat line with 12 points on 4-of-4 from the field, including 3-for-3 from long range, five rebounds, four assists and two steals.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Sparked by 15 second half points from freshman BRETT COMER (pictured) and SHERWOOD BROWN’S 19 points off the bench, FGCU picked up its first win under head coach Andy Enfield against Ave Maria, 79-64, in front of 1,547 fans in the home opener at Alico Arena Monday night. FGCU created its first real separation of the game midway through the final frame, going on a 17-2 run over a seven-minute period that took what was a six-point lead and turned it into a the largest edge of the game (21), 58-37, for the Eagles with 9:02 play. Brown scored 10 of his 19 points in the first half, sinking 3-of-6 from three-point land, while also adding six rebounds and three steals. It was Comer’s turn in the second half, as the Winter Park, Fla. product reached double figures over the final 20 minutes alone for the second straight game. Comer finished 7-of-10 from the field for 17 points to go along with a game-high eight rebounds and four assists. After shooting just 31 percent in the first half, the Eagles shot a sweltering 69 percent (18-26) from the floor in the second frame en route to 48 points. FGCU’s finished above 50 percent for the second consecutive contest with a 52 percent clip (31-60). FGCU took advantage of its superior size to own a 44-27 advantage on the backboard and a 34-16 edge in points in the paint.

FGCU - 68 Prairie View A&M - 59
SMU - 65 FGCU - 64
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Led by freshman BRETT COMER’S first career doubledouble and a strong second half defensive effort, FGCU picked up its second straight win with a 68-59 victory against Prairie View A&M on Thursday night at Alico Arena. For the third straight game, Comer reached double figure points in the second half alone, sparking a 12-2 run that turned a 39-33 Panther lead into a 45-41 FGCU advantage that it would never relinquish. Comer accounted for four points during the run and assisted on both three-pointers by classmate FILIP CVJETICANIN and sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL. The Eagles held a five-point lead, 59-54, with just under three minutes to play, before putting the game away with eight straight points that gave the home team its largest lead of the game (13), 67-54, and its second home win in four days. FGCU outscored Prairie View A&M 38-25 and limited the Panthers to just 8-of-36 from the field over the final 20 minutes. A trio of freshmen led FGCU in scoring with Comer’s doubledouble coming on 15 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and three steals over 35 minutes of action. Comer did a majority of his damage in the second half comeback, scoring 11 points and while dishing out six assists. Freshman BERNARD THOMPSON (pictured) contributed 13 points, while Cvjeticanin was perfect from the field, going 3-of-3, including two from long range, to add 10 points off the bench.
DALLAS, Texas - Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL (pictured) poured in a game-high 20 points and FGCU made 10 three-pointers as a team, but it wasn’t enough, as its two game-winning attempts in the final seconds came up short in a heartbreaking 65-54 loss at Conference USA foe SMU on Saturday afternoon at Moody Coliseum. The first 37 minutes of the game featured just two lead changes, but there were three over the final three minutes with the last coming on a breakaway layup by SMU’s Ryan Manuel off an FGCU turnover with 21 seconds left that gave the Mustangs a 65-54 lead. After calling a timeout, FGCU’s initial play was stopped, as Thompson had to take a fade away jumper from the top of the key that missed short. The miss caromed right to Varidel outside the right block where his put-back was to strong off the glass and glanced off the front of the rim as time expired. The one-point loss is the second of the season for the Eagles, who dropped a 73-72 decision in the season-opener at nearby TCU just over a week ago. Varidel accounted for six of FGCU’s 10 three-pointers, knocking down 6-of-7 from long range for 20 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Freshman BERNARD THOMPSON was the only other Eagle in double figures with 11 points, a game-high eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Varidel and Thompson combined for 23 of FGCU’s 35 points in the first half.

MIAMI, Fla. - Despite holding Miami to 18 points and a 17 percent shooting clip (4-24) in the second half, FGCU couldn’t overcome an 18-point halftime deficit in a hard-fought 60-50 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday night at the BankUnited Center. The 18 points given up by the Eagles in the second half equals the best defensive effort over the final 20 minutes by the Green and Blue since joining Division I in 2007-08. Behind 15 points in the second half by junior SHERWOOD BROWN (pictured) and the stout defensive effort, FGCU out-scored Miami 26-18 in the final frame, but couldn’t avoid falling to 2-3 on the young season. The Eagles’ three losses have come by a combined 12 points, while Miami picked up its fourth straight win to open the season, which have all come home. After trailing 42-24 at the end of 20 minutes, FGCU quickly cut the Miami lead in half, opening the second frame on a 9-0 run that was capped by a three-pointer from Brown that forced Miami coach Jim Larranaga to call a timeout at the 15:49 mark. Brown’s three cut the Miami lead to 42-33, as the Hurricanes went the first 6:55 without a point by shooting 0-for-10 from the field. Brown added a jumper in the final minute to finish with FGCU’s final 10 points, but the Eagles couldn’t make up any ground as AllACC guard Malcolm Grant went 5-of-6 from the line over the final 80 seconds to seal the win and halt the FGCU comeback.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Three players in double figures and a late push over the final 10 minutes helped FGCU rally from a double-digit deficit in the second half before falling short at Maryland, 73-67, on Friday night at the Comcast Center. Trailing by 16, 52-36, with 13:03 left, the Eagles fought back behind freshman point guard BRETT COMER, who scored 14 of his team-high 16 points in the second half. Comer’s layup with 48 seconds left cut it to a two-possession contest, at 70-66. After a pair of missed free throws from Terrell Stoglin gave the ball back to the Eagles, but a turnover in transition cost the visitors a chance to draw as close as one point. Despite being a 92 percent (23-25) shooter through the first four games, Stoglin, an ACC All-Freshman selection a year ago, made 2-of-4 from the line in the final 26 seconds, but FGCU came away with just one point over its final five possessions. Comer finished 7-of-12 from the field while adding six rebounds and three assists over a team-high 32 minutes. Fellow freshman BERNARD THOMPSON (pictured) came off the bench for 12 points, marking the fifth time in six games the bench has supplied a double figure scorer. Thompson added seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. For the sixth straight game, FGCU won the battle on the boards, finishing with a 42-37 edge, including 17 offensive caroms.

BALTIMORE, Md. - After making 4-of-5 from long range over the first 39 minutes of the game, sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL’S gametying three-point attempt with six seconds left was blocked, putting an end to furious second half comeback by FGCU as it fell short at Loyola University Maryland on Sunday, 77-74, at Reitz Arena. Varidel and freshman BERNARD THOMPSON came off the bench to score a game-high 17 points each, but it wasn’t enough as the Eagles dropped their fourth in a row. FGCU, who was playing its fifth road game, has lost five games by a combined 21 points, including three by three points or less. Varidel and Thompson’s big day ignited the FGCU bench that produced 44 points, including 33 of the team’s 50 in the second half. It marked the fourth time this season that the Eagles’ leading scorer has come off the bench. Thompson scored 15 of his season-high 17 in the second half, including nine straight that cut the Loyola lead from 13 to four with 14 minutes left. Varidel’s 17 came on 4-of-6 from three and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free throw line. Both teams entered the day having out-rebounded all of their opponents, and it was FGCU that finished the fast paced 40 minutes with a 36-33 edge on the glass. Making his first start since 2009-10, redshirt junior EDDIE MURRAY (pictured) set careerhighs with 11 points and a game-high eight boards.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Junior SHERWOOD BROWN (pictured) scored a game-high 20 points and FGCU led for the final 37 minutes en route to a 72-63 win over ETSU in its Atlantic Sun Conference opener on Saturday at Alico Arena. The Eagles jumped out to an eight-point lead at the half and held on to win their A-Sun opener for the third time in five years. FGCU’s win snapped a five-game losing streak against the Buccaneers. Led by Brown’s 7-for-10 night from the field, FGCU shot 54 percent (27-50) from the floor, marking the third time this season it has shot over 50 percent in a game. On the flipside, the Eagles won the turnover battle, 16-14, and limited ETSU to a 35 percent (22-63) shooting clip. The 20-point game was the second of Brown’s career and he was joined in double figures by sophomore CHASE FIELER, who had 12 points. A majority of Brown’s 20 points came beyond the arc, knocking down 4-of-5 from deep. Fieler’s 12 points were joined by a team-high eight rebounds and four assists. FGCU’s bench came into the game averaging 30 points per game, but was limited to a season-low 17. On the bright side, freshman BRETT COMER came off the pine and dished out 10 assists for the second time this season. Sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL accounted for nine of the bench points, drilling 3-of-6 from long range. Varidel is 19-of-37 from long range on the year.

Dec. 19, 2011 at Alico Arena
LINCOLN, Neb. - Dylan Talley’s runner with 10.4 seconds left gave Nebraska a 51-50 lead and FGCU failed to get off the potential game-winning shot, as the Eagles dropped a heartbreaker in Big Ten country on Wednesday night at the Devaney Center. The Eagles trailed 49-47 with less than three minutes to play until sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL’S 100th career threepointer gave the visitors a onepoint edge, 50-49 (1:23). After a stop on the defensive end, sophomore CHASE FIELER had a chance to give the Eagles a two-possession lead, but his three from the right corner rimmed out. FGCU stopped Nebraska’s initial play to get the ball inside to Jorge Brian Diaz so Talley retrieved the ball at the right wing and drove the baseline for the runner with 10.4 seconds left. Following a timeout with 7.1 seconds on the clock, FGCU inbounded the ball from in front of its bench to freshman BERNARD THOMPSON who used a stagger screen to drive into the lane. Thompson kicked the ball out to Varidel on the right wing, but he never got the shot off as the buzzer sounded. For the fifth time this season, FGCU’s top scorer came from the bench, as junior SHERWOOD BROWN (pictured) had 14 points on 6-of-10 from the field over 31 minutes. Freshman FILIP CVJETICANIN also came off the pine, knocking down a quartet of threes to account for all 12 of his points.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Freshman Ty Greene scored a season-high 21 points for the second straight game and redshirt sophomore Ricardo Glenn notched a doubledouble to lead USC Upstate to an 80-75 Atlantic Sun win over FGCU in a tightly played contest at Alico Arena on Monday night. In a game that featured nine lead changes and seven ties, neither team held a lead of more than five points until late in the second half when the Spartans used an 8-0 run to take the largest lead of the game (10), 68-58, with 4:47 left to play. Back-to-back three-pointers by junior SHERWOOD BROWN separated by just 14 seconds with under a minute to play quickly trimmed a nine-point Upstate lead down to 74-71. Unfortunately, for the Eagles that would be as close as they would come, as the Spartans grew the lead back to three possessions with 10 seconds to play en route to handing FGCU its first home loss of the season. Four players reached double figures for FGCU, led by 16 points from freshman BERNARD THOMPSON. Thompson scored 12 of his points in the second half, going 6-of-9 from the field to finish in double-digits for a team-best seventh time this season. Fellow freshman DANTE HOLMES (pictured) finished with a season-high 15 points, becoming the eighth player to reach double figures this year. Holmes’ 15 points highlighted a 30-point night from the bench.

FGCU - 83 Toledo - 80
Dec. 22, 2011 at Alico Arena FORT MYERS, Fla. - Five different players reached double figures and FGCU came away with three straight defensive stops in the final minute to hold on for a thrilling 8380 non-conference win over Toledo on Thursday night at Alico Arena. Redshirt junior EDDIE MURRAY (pictured) corralled his first career double-double with 11 points and a career-high 14 rebounds over 36 minutes to highlight a season-best five players that finished in double figures. Three different players scored a team-high 16 points for the Eagles, as they shot 51 percent (3161) from the field en route to a season-best 83 points. Freshmen BERNARD THOMPSON and DANTE HOLMES each had 16 points, while sophomore CHRISTOPHE VARIDEL did the same off the bench with a trio of three-pointers. Thompson, Holmes and BRETT COMER were part of a threemember freshmen starting backcourt that went for 41 points, 11 assists and six steals. Toledo was led by its starting freshman point guard Julius Brown, who poured in a game-high 29 points on 10-of-15 from the field, including 7-of-11 from three-point land. It marked the sixth time this season FGCU has played in a game decided by five points or less, but was the first time it came out victorious.
