MBB Bulls vs Florida Gulf Coast - What you need to know, Game Notes

[Triple B]

Florida Gulf Coast University less Dunk City, more methodical

 

TAMPA — As March grew more surreal, the figurative streets of Dunk City grew more congested.

 

By the time Florida Gulf Coast reached the Sweet 16 last spring, everyone from Naples to Nokomis wanted a plot in this 94-foot Fort Myers suburb. From bumper stickers to beverage coasters, Dunk City — hashtag optional — became ubiquitous. Even religious.

 

Matthew, Mark, Luke and Chase. What else could 6-foot-8 forward Chase Fieler do when an elderly female parishioner at Lubeck Community Baptist Church asked him to autograph her Bible? He signed it.

 

"That was something that meant a lot to me, on a book that important," he said.

 

Nine months later, some of the gloss has faded from the darlings of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, who visit USF tonight. The coach (Andy Enfield) bolted for USC, the dreadlocked top scorer (Sherwood Brown) graduated and a low-post force (Eric McKnight) remains suspended.

Not that it matters, but we will outdunk Dunk City. We should outscore them too.

I'm very surprised ESPN is actually broadcasting this game tonight. It's on ESPNU at 7:00p.

 

Probably lined this one up for Dunk City, the Sequel.

Need this game!

Being a resident of Ft. Myers...err Dunk City, I can tell you the entire community embraced the basketball program. Lot of Dunk City stuff sold but also a lot of local push to be tied to fgcu. Was fun and would love to see it continue. But not tonight.

Abdul Aleem is so awful.

AC looks weak

Watching this team is just as bad as watching the Bucs. Two head coaches that have no clue how to coach offense.

Our boys are sleepwalking. First to 50 wins.

 

We need to realize that when we're playing on national TV we need to put an entertaining product on the tube if we ever want to become a force in athletics. 99% of the people not associated with one of these schools have already changed the channel.

 

Sad.

I don't think they're sleepwalking. They're just bad like every other USF team.
