The Florida Gulf Coast bandwagon is taking off

Is anyone else jumping on this bandwagon? I love how this team plays. They play loose and aggressive. They play as though they know they are the underdogs and they aren't even supposed to be in the tourney at all. This makes them all the more dangerous. All the big name teams have played in high pressure games/situations before, they know what the pressure of the spotlight can do. FGCU however doesn't know what pressure is; all they seem to know is get the ball and score. And score they do. They score with a flair and tenacity I've never seen. Granted I don't watch a lot of basketball, but this team is an endless highlight reel of monster dunks and clutch shooting and big steals. FGCU dropped 81 on a good defensive team in San Diego State, all I could think is 81 isn't enough I want more. This is the first and most likely only time I will root against my SEC roots in an out of conference match up. Go Eagles!
