FGCU

[nyg]

I don't know if they will win, but that point guard Brett Comer is really, really good. 

Lets root for the #15 seed.

[JoBo2756]

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.

[wojosdojo]

Me too. Wish Mellow was playing.

[JoBo2756]

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.

[real chili 83]

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

[KenoshaWarrior]

Florida will get to play a 15 seed (Not in the opening Round) for the 2nd year in a row.  WOW!

[RushmoreAcademy]

These guys are the NCAA tournament version of the LA Clippers.  
Holy dunks, and holy dunking traditionals.

[warriorchick]

Kinda digging the baby Jae Crowder they have.

What's the deepest a 15 seed has gone?

[TallTitan34]

This. They are the only ones to make it to a S16.

[Benny B]

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?

[Goose]

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.

First ever 15 seed to advance to Sweet 16

[nyg]

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......

[Lighthouse 84]

And more importantly, the coach's wife is smokin' hot. Just sayin'.

[Warriors10]

Florida will play a #15 seed for the second straight year without ever being a #2 seed.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

First ever 15 seed to advance to Sweet 16

madness

[tower912]

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.

Their coach worked on Wall Street and has an estimated net worth of $50 to $100 million.  His wife is a former lingerie supermodel.

Wow, really?

He has shoehorned his way into an NBA coaching gig, begun a startup software contract management company that was worth $100 million when he opted out, went back to coaching as a Division I assistant, took a head coaching job at a university in its infancy, and two years into its Division I status, brought it to the NCAA tournament.

Oh, did we mention he's also married to a one-time lingerie/bathing suit model?

"He is the most confident person I've ever met,'' said Enfield's wife, the former Amanda Marcum who has graced the covers of Maxim, Elle and Vogue.
