George Mason, Butler, VCU and now Florida GC…

Sunday, the story of the NCAA Tournament continued to make headlines and turn heads as Florida Gulf Coast defeated No. 7 San Diego State University 81-71 becoming the first 15 seeded team to reach the Sweet 16.

Just about 48 hours after taking down No. 1 Georgetown, the Eagles continued Sunday night with the highlight reel plays and no-quit/us against the world attitude punching their ticket to the Round of 16.

Bernard Thompson led the way for the Eagles with 23 points while Sherwood Brown (who’s quickly becoming a household name) had 17 points. Brett Comer notched a double-double with 10 points and 14 assists.

Next up for Florida GC is in-state counterpart Florida who by all means should be their toughest opponent yet.
