87%

FGCU has shot better than 60 percent from the floor each of the past two games for the first time in program history (67.1 vs. Ave Maria; 61.4 at Georgia Southern). The 61.4-percent performance (3557) against Georgia Southern on Sunday was tied for the highest in non-conference program history against a Division-I opponent (TCU; Nov. 11, 2011).

86%

All-time, FGCU has had just eight games in which it has shot 60 percent or better from the field, and four of them have occurred since Joe Dooley took over the program in 2013-14. This year, the Eagles are shooting 51.2 percent from the floor to rank 6th in the nation. The program single-season record for field goal percentage was set last year (47.9), and the 3rd-highest single-season performance came in 2013-14 (46.7).

1) The Eagles will be looking to even their all-time D-I record (150-151) for the first time since they were 1-1 to start the 2007-08 season. 2) FGCU will be in search of its 10th-straight home win dating back to last year, which would be tied for the 21st-longest streak in the nation. 3) Brandon Goodwin became the first FGCU player besides Brett Comer to record a double-double with assists since 2009 with his 12-point, 10-assist game at Georgia Southern. 4) FGCU has scored 124 points in the paint the last two games, shot 73 percent (65-89) from 2-point range and thrown down 13 dunks. 5) Siena will be the sixth team through FGCU’s first eight D-I opponents this year which won at least 20 games and played in the postseason in 2015-16.
