FGCU has won 12-straight games over Kennesaw State – the longest active streak by any ASUN team over another league member. Among current conference members, the 12-game winning streak is tied for the 2nd-longest in ASUN history, bested only by North Florida’s 13-game run over Kennesaw State from 2010-16. Jacksonville also defeated Kennesaw State 12 times in a row from 2007-13. KSU ranks 2nd in the nation in 3-point percentage at 42.6. FGCU leads the ASUN in 3-point percentage defense, limiting foes to 31.2 percent from beyond the arc. Through the first five ASUN games, every opponent shot better than 35 percent from 3-point range against FGCU, but the Eagles have held each of their last five opponents under 35 percent.
93%
FGCU continues to lead the nation in points in the paint at 41.7 per game (2nd: Kentucky, 41), and is 5th in the country in field goal percentage at 50.5. The Eagles have out-scored each of their 10 ASUN opponents in the paint so far this year, and have done so by a dominant average of 41 to 25 per game. In their matchup last month, FGCU doubled-up Kennesaw State in the paint, 52-26.

1) FGCU’s leading 3-point shooter, Christian Terrell, did not play Thursday after rolling his ankle in practice and will be a game-time decision against Kennesaw State. 2) Against Lipscomb, FGCU shot a season-low 35.4 percent from the floor and tied for its fewest points in the paint all year with just 24. 3) Marc-Eddy Norelia (17 points, 11 rebounds) and Brandon Goodwin (16 points, 10 rebounds) both secured double-doubles against Lipscomb. 4) FGCU has not lost consecutive ASUN home games since the 2011-12 season. 5) The Eagles bounced back from their first ASUN loss with a dominant 84-point and 53.6-percent shooting performance against NJIT on Jan. 21.
