FGCU used a dominant 2nd-half effort on Saturday night against Jacksonville to remain in sole possession of 1st place in the ASUN, one game clear of USC Upstate and Lipscomb. After holding a 36-33 halftime lead, the Eagles out-scored the Dolphins in the 2nd half, 42-23, en route to their 10th win in the last 11 games with a 78-56 decision over Jacksonville. FGCU leads the nation in points in the paint at 43.5 per game (2nd, Kentucky: 42.6) and is 4th in the country in field goal percentage at 51.6. Through its first seven ASUN games, the Eagles are out-scoring their opponents in the paint by an average of 46.6 to 25.6 per game.

93%

Helping fuel that low-post production for FGCU is a re-emergence of Dunk City as the Eagles are averaging 4.9 dunks per game, surpassing the average of 4 per game thrown down by the original Dunk City Sweet Sixteen team in 2012-13. The Eagles already have 112 dunks this year, the most since that iconic 2012-13 squad threw down 148, and are coming off a season-best 12-dunk performance against Jacksonville.
