Although only separated by roughly two hours, Wednesday will mark the first time since FGCU’s second D-I season in 2008-09 that it has faced FAU. FGCU enters the game ranked in the top-10 nationally in each of the following statistics: field goal percentage: 4th, 52.1; 3-point percentage defense: 4th, 27.3; 3-point percentage: 6th, 42.2; total assists: 8th, 243. All of those percentages would be single-season program records, with the total assists just behind the pace of 602 set by the 2002-03 team. The Eagles will again be without redshirt senior Marc-Eddy Norelia for the fourth-straight game due to personal reasons. The forward is a Preseason All-ASUN Conference selection and team’s leading returning scorer (17.1) and rebounder (9.3) from a season ago. After sitting out the game against Florida National on Dec. 22 with a left ankle injury suffered at Louisiana Tech, freshman RaySean Scott Jr. is expected to be dressed for the contest with FAU.
