Florida Gulf Coast 12/3 1:00 ESPN+

Sunday, Florida Gulf Coast University will be at 5th/3rd. The Eagles (1-6) have not beaten a D1 team thus far. However. no opponent has blown them out. They lost at IN and Pitt by 6 and 12, respectively. FGCU also lost all three games in the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands to mid-majors.

Their KenPom ranking is #230. For comparison, Howard are #216. The Bearcats are #36 presently. The Eagles' adjusted defensive efficiency is one of the worst in the country (#323). Offensively, they are respectable (#138). However, they've shot poorly from the arc in most games (29.6%), although they had two games in which they canned about 38%.

FGCU play tonight (Wednesday) at FIU at 7:00. That game will be shown on CBSSN (DirecTV Channel 221).

Based on KenPom, the Cats should be about 25-point home favorites, if they play reasonably well.
