Above is the link of Chase Fieler's alley-oop dunk in their upset victory against Georgetown in the NCAA tournament last year. Dunk City is what they were called, because of their immaculate dunks during their run in the NCAA tournament. The Eagles made their first appearance in the tournament and quickly became a Cinderella story. They made it to the Sweet 16. Knocking off Georgetown, the #2 rank in their region, on the way.  Sherwood Brown led the team with 15.5 PG 6.5 RBG and shooting 47% from the field. The 2013-2014 team has some big shoes to fill.

Florida Gulf Coast University, Located in Fort Meyer, Florida, was established in May 1991. But the campus groundbreaking was on November 28th 1995. Mariana Coto was the first student admitted in 1997. FGCU is still a young university but is on the rise, gaining national exposure from the basketball team making it to the sweet 16. That was the first time I heard of Florida Gulf coast University.
