I don't know if they will win, but that point guard Brett Comer is really, really good.
Lets root for the #15 seed.
I'm a fan too. Love to watch them play. Really fast tempo and good amount of killer alley oops. They also pass the ball really well. Would hate to play this team.
Me too. Wish Mellow was playing.
Also, as I watch, I see these guys having the time of their lives out there. Really enjoying a game where they are starting to pull away from SDSU.
Love to see FCGU take down Florida too.
Have a place only 10-15 mi. from FGCU - willdefinitely pick up a shirt to wear when my dipshit brother-in-law from Georgetown will be visiting.

I do the same to my becky BIL.
He's one of the few Becky alums I can stand
Florida will get to play a 15 seed (Not in the opening Round) for the 2nd year in a row. WOW!
These guys are the NCAA tournament version of the LA Clippers.
Holy dunks, and holy dunking traditionals.
Kinda digging the baby Jae Crowder they have.
What's the deepest a 15 seed has gone?
This. They are the only ones to make it to a S16.
Not to take anything away from FGCU, but is a 15-seed being in the Sweet 16 an indictment of the selection committee's incompetence?
They are fun to watch. Very entertaining team.

OK, put them as a 14 seed.
They did have 5 loses in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Mercer, won the regular season and won at Tennesee in the first round of the NIT.

Comer had 10 points, 14 assists and 2 turnovers. Wow.
How many of those kids were even one star recruits?
FGCU beats Miami, Georgetown and San Diego State, yet during the season lost to Lipscomb twice. Uh???????
What excitement for the team, but I have a feeling they are about to Gatorized......
And more importantly, the coach's wife is smokin' hot. Just sayin'.
Florida will play a #15 seed for the second straight year without ever being a #2 seed.
They actually have off the ball movement. Combine that with rapid passing and a whole lot of fearlessness and athleticism. Good for them.

Probably just speaks more to unprecedented parity. Given the resumes of the 12-14 seeds, there wasn't really bad seeding...Montana is the only one that looks bad since they lost to fellow 13 South Dakota St and also their bracket buster @ 14 Davidson. But with FGCU as a 15 and Davidson, Valpo, Harvard, and NW State ahead of them I'm not sure anyone thought they should have been seeded ahead of any of those teams...it's just that it's no longer a guaranteed blowout for a 13-16 like it used to be.

Any surprise the bread and supermodel go hand in hand? The guy is no Romeo, hey?
I thought she looked a little rough when they showed her at the game on Friday night. Either it's been a hard few years for her, or Photoshop really works miracles.
Now, THERE is a coach's wife who would love for her husband to take the UCLA job. Too big a jump for him?
Just curious what people think of them. I don't know that I've ever seen a 13 or lower seed just absolutely destroy a team they way they did Georgetown. The Hoyas made a late run, but they never really had a chance. And FGCU looked pretty darn good against San Diego State, who is supposed to be one of the better MWC teams.
So what is it? Were they just mis-seeded? They did fine in conference, but had losses to awful teams in Lipscomb (twice), ETSU, and Stetson. And it wasn't like they were blowing everyone else out by 20, almost half (6/13) of their conference wins were by single digits.
Their biggest weaknesses in the season were turning it over too much and rebounding, but they've held their own in both departments against two pretty good programs. So will they get exposed by Florida as pretenders, much as the Gators did to NSU last year, or can they actually compete in that game?
After seeing them last night I'm beginning to wonder if the NCAA will start sniffing around the program. My friends in Bonita springs tell me the school is behind the outlet mall, has a couple buildings and a high school gym on the water, offers degrees in police investigation.
They may have been underseeded by a line - not many 15 seeds have regular season wins over a 2 seed or are ranked in the top 100 of the RPI. That said, Georgetown, while deserving of the 2 seed, has been playing on a razor thin margin for months, relying on Otto Porter to carry them. He definitely ran out of steam the last couple weeks of the season. San Diego St. was overseeded by a couple lines and has struggled to score this whole season. They tried to run with FGCU and it doomed them. So they took advantage of circumstances and are playing confident ball right now. But I think Florida crushes them.

It's a public university of 12,000 students that has accredited programs in business and engineering amongst others. It's a real place. Pretty remarkable because it has only been around for 20 years or so.
The thing that seemed to make the biggest difference was that they forced both GTown and SDSU to play FGCU basketball. Both GTown and SDSU prefer to go with the half court, deliberate offense whereas FGCU was able to score a lot on the break. As a result, Gtown and SDSU got flustered and tried to score on the break.
I think with a week to look at the team, Donovan will be able to game plan against it and force turnovers to get FGCU flustered. It really is amazing how loose FGCU played, and I think you have to give props to Enfield. But I think the whole "we have nothing to lose" will wear off and Florida will win by 15+
Random thoughts (which don't get to what you're asking):
They're a lot of fun to watch.

Didn't realize that we had a hand in helping them early in their history, thanks to trying to schedule a patsy late in the year.

My co-worker attended FGC. She said the school has grown leaps and bounds in the last 5-6 years as it used to be nothing. According to Wikipedia the school was only founded in 1991 and is part of the Florida State university system.
My nephew lives in Fort Myers area and is a freshman there (pre-med, I think). Visited the campus over the holidays. It is a big school growing yearly.

See this is a problem, you assume they are cheating just because they aren't suppose to win like they did and they are behind an outlet mall/not your typical S16 school. NCAA can't do any out of the ordinary that they don't do with other schools just because they shocked people. Same problem occurred with Old Miss when their football recruiting class was stellar.
Build a football team and the America-12 will include them in expansion prolly...
But seriously...great story, fun to watch, it's gonna be exciting down the stretch.

They were mediocre in conference. That must be a heck of a conference! I see a team with a leader, a PG who can get anywhere on the floor, enough height to bang, athleticism at 5 positions and absolutely no fear. I enjoy their off-ball movement. It was so refreshing to see bigs picking down for wings to pop out, and then picking across so that the post player comes across with a couple inches of space. And then, after all of that movement, instead of just doing the dribble drive thing, they are doing dribble drive with cutters and trailers. I don't know if what they are doing is the wave of the future, but it sure is a splash of cold water to the face after watching endless 3 man weaves out top and then somebody trying to make a play late in the shot clock.
As a side not, isn't FGC the team Tom Crean scheduled late in one season because he wanted to improve our record in the last 10 games before the NCAAs?
Yes. They were the late-season addition between the end of the BEast season and the start of the tournament.

If you are curious about a degree in "police investigation", perhaps you should check out their website http://www.fgcu.edu/ (http://www.fgcu.edu/) and look into the program. If you were unable to locate the website on your own maybe you should. If performing a basic google search on the school is deemed too challenging I wouldn't count on an acceptance letter. That is, if you can figure out how to apply.

Spin is everything. While the quoted article contains bits and pieces of everything you said in your original statement ("Their coach worked on Wall Street and has an estimated net worth of $50 to $100 million. His wife is a former lingerie supermodel.") it doesn't technically support any of those statements. I'm not saying any of those things are untrue, I have no idea, just that the article you quoted doesn't really say any of them. Nothing about Wall Street;* nothing about his estimated net worth; and nothing about being a "supermodel" (however the heck that is defined). While he clearly is an entrepreneur; apparently did make some good money on a start-up; and his wife is a former model, a little hyperbole is great for the marketing machine. His agent must be licking his chops. And probably hers as well.
Edited to clarify that last sentence: "Like his agent, her agent also must be licking his chops" (not
his agent licking
her chops).
*Edited again: I now see the Wall Street mention in the article...my bad for not reading past the quote in the thread before shooting my mouth off. I left my original statement above intact to invite the ridicule and shame I deserve.

Where I was watching (Friday night party at the Lexington Hilton), the sound was down, so I assumed at some point they mentioned she was an ex-model, but we never heard that; we only knew she was the coach's wife from the graphic. It was the crowd consensus that was a former hottie, but she was not aging gracefully.
She was definitely trying too hard. I am pretty sure she was the only coach's wife in the arena that was wearing a spaghetti-strap top; it was below freezing in Philadelphia that night.

I agree and I think that's why NBA guys like Mike Brown and Flip Saunders are getting looks by college teams. College basketball needs an influx of new blood.
I think FGCU is a breath of fresh air simply because their brand of basketball isn't the dreadfully dull style we see at Wisconsin, at Georgetown, from Temple against IU, where every possession has the weight of the world on it. They are actually having fun, playing fast, making plays, and playing without fear. I had my fill this past weekend of offenses that play at a glacial pace and don't involve much movement.

Definitely over-coached and too much emphasis placed on controlling tempo.
FGCU has some pretty athletic guys, but its their pace of play and the ability to freelance that made them look so much more athletic than Georgetown and SDSU.
I love what Fred Hoiberg has done at Iowa State. That's a program on the rise. I would love to see more NBA types in college basketball.
Fun team to watch, great excitement to the tournament, but now they face the Gators. 13 point underdog right now and I will be rooting like crazy for them to win, but I think they really get spanked.

"It's refreshing to see a college team succeed without forgetting the fact that they are, you know, college dudes. These aren't the young men of Duke, souls sucked dry by the Krzyzewskian ethos, servants to The System. These are guys who like to dunk and play basketball and have fun and entertain, which is the entire point of basketball."
AND
"The worst thing about March Madness is the TV-enabled beatification of the coaching class, which by and large is made up of grim, glowering fascists who left their sense of humor back at the 1989 Nike ABCD Camp. Maybe Enfield will wind up like everyone else, but so far, he's been a delight. Maybe that has something to do with his unconventional background. A former assistant coach for the Bucks and Celtics, Enfield left the NBA to help found a tech startup that made him a millionaire before his 40th birthday. He then got back into the coaching game, working as an assistant at Florida State before taking the head coaching gig at FGCU. He's also married to a former Victoria's Secret model, whom he took to Taco Bell on their first date."
AND FINALLY...
"FGCU itself is kind of strange. The university has only had on-campus students since 1997, and the economics department is aggressively, evangelically pro-capitalism. Like, every-student-gets-a-copy-of-Atlas-Shrugged pro-capitalism. It's the Chicago school of economics with a better tan. Here's a really weird website that is run by one of the economics professors and gives off a bit of a 9/11 Truther vibe. But let's not concern ourselves with that right now. Let's just enjoy the Eagles, dunk by irreplaceable dunk."

I believe it may have been Bilas who was discussing this a couple weeks ago. He said that the offenses of a lot of college basketball teams are run like football teams - the coach calls a play, the players line up and try to execute. The other team gets the ball, same thing. There's not much freedom for players. Definitely not the case for FGCU!

Especially out of a 15-seed. It seems like more often than not those lower seeded teams win by limiting possessions, hitting threes, and generally getting back to basics. Against Georgetown, FGCU looked like the 2-seed. That was really impressive to watch.
Andy Enfield: 'I still have to work'
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/2013/story/_/id/9099818/florida-gulf-coast-eagles-andy-enfield-wealth-to-work
Faced with a story that had spiraled out of control, Florida Gulf Coast University coach Andy Enfield addressed reports of his vast wealth.
"I still have to work," Enfield told ESPN's Tom Rinaldi on Monday afternoon.
Scores of publications and news outlets reported that Enfield was a co-founder of health care business information firm TractManager, and that the company was worth $100 million. It was then inferred by many that Enfield, making $157,000 at FGCU, was independently wealthy. Enfield has not revealed how much money he has made off the company or how much he still has invested.
After it was reported on ESPN on Monday that Enfield's story circulating in the media wasn't entirely accurate, the company's founder, Tom Rizk, said he started to get calls.
"I have no idea where that $100 million number came from," Rizk said. "It didn't come from our organization."
Rizk volunteered that the private company is worth more than that, while also confirming that Enfield's piece of the business "makes up a small percentage."
"He was part of our company, he made a modest investment, he cashed out some of his stake and he still retains a small piece," said Rizk of Enfield, who was among the first group of employees, but was not a founding partner. "But, at least by my definition, he is not independently wealthy."
Rizk said he doesn't believe Enfield, who was the company's vice president of finance, participated in the inaccurate portrayal of his financial situation.
"When a story spirals like it did, it's not easy for someone who isn't experienced in this world to correct those things," Rizk said.
Rizk, who met Enfield after his son Geoff attended the coach's basketball camp, said that he had no doubt that when Enfield got back into coaching he'd be successful.
"I knew when he took the Florida Gulf Coast job that he would have success early in his career," Rizk said. "That the team would win the conference championship, that they'd go to the NCAA tournament. Andy works in a way where he sees a situation and finds a solution. He puts a plan together and then executes it. That's the way he runs his business life and I suspect his personal relationships as well."
Well...the guy never claimed to found anything. I mean was he ever even asked?
This is so typical. "Hey isn't this guy refreshing? He's rich...his team plays fun ball...his wife is hot. Now let's try to figure out how to tear the guy down."

All those scores in the 50's kinda make it so, huh? I definitely agree with you - and I blame Digger. Couldn't slow their offense down enough - cuz all he had to work with were a bunch of future NBAers. Probably half the coaches in the country could've won at east one championship with those teams.
