FORT MYERS, Fla. - The second season under head coach
Pat Chambers will tip off for Florida Gulf Coast University's men's basketball team Tuesday night as the Eagles travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to face Indiana University. Opening tip is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. from historic Assembly Hall on the IU campus, with the game airing on the Big Ten Network.
"We're going to compete night in and night out," said Coach Chambers. "We're going to defend and rebound. We're going to get floor burns, and we're going to take charges. And then on the other side of the ball, we're going to play with pace and tempo. We have high flyers, and we have snipers. We have a good combination of what you need to have to be sustainable and consistent. And you should come out and watch us because we have some really great personalities on this team that you can relate to and root for."
The Eagles finished 17-15 in 2022-23 – the first year for Chambers and his staff – an effort that included the program's first Gulf Coast Showcase title and the best non-conference winning percentage (76.9 percent, 10-3) in program history. FGCU also earned a program-record 13 straight wins at Alico Arena, a stretch that began in the 2021-22 season, and snared key non-conference victories at USC and St. Bonaventure.
Defense was a hallmark of the attitude-driven FGCU squad all season, as the Green & Blue held opponents to 61 points or less in 12 games (going 10-2 in those games). Second-half adjustments were also a hallmark of Chambers' first FGCU squad, as the Eagles improved their shooting percentage in the final 20 minutes of 22 of 32 games.
This season, the Eagles have been picked to finish second in the Atlantic Sun Conference in the league's preseason coaches poll. Eastern Kentucky University was selected to top the league standings.
Isaiah Thompson was selected to the ASUN Preseason All-Conference team after earning Third Team honors from the conference last season.
