HOMEWOOD SUITES FGCU SHOOTOUT

NOVEMBER

2017-18 PRESEASON

Denver, Navy and St. Francis Brooklyn are all first-time opponents for FGCU. In addition, the Eagles will be hosting Webber International as a regional-site game at Alico Arena on Wednesday, Nov. FAVORITES 29, to conclude the event.

FGCU is ranked #13 in the CollegeInsider.com Top 25 Poll. Each of FGCU’s first four opponents this year have received votes in either the mid-major or Associated Press Top 25 polls. Despite the 2-2 start, FGCU has had eventual success when beginning a season at, or below, .500. Just last year, the Eagles were 1-3 after four games, and in 2012-13 the Green and Blue were 2-2. In both of those campaigns, the Eagles won 26 games – tied for the most in the Division-I era of the program – won the ASUN Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. FGCU is 76-14 (.844) at Alico Arena since the start of the 2012-13 season. The Eagles are already 1-0 this year after opening the season with an impressive 98-87 win over the defending co-Missouri Valley Conference regular-season champions in Illinois State.

TWEETABLES 5 Things To Know In 280 Or Less

1) After leading the nation in points in the paint last year (41.3 per game), FGCU has out-scored each of its first four opponents this season (+62 overall; 44 per game). 2) FGCU scored 80 or more points in each of the first three games of the season for the first time in the D-I era of the program (since 2007-08). 3) Both of FGCU’s losses this year have come when the Eagles have been outrebounded: 46-42 at Bowling Green, 3732 at Middle Tennessee. 4) After shooting 41 percent from 3-point range in its non-conference schedule last year, FGCU is off to just a 26.5-percent rate from beyond the arc this year (22-83). 5) FGCU has led the ASUN in scoring defense in three of head coach Joe Dooley’s four years (2nd the other), but has uncharacteristically allowed 80+ points in three of four games this year.
