Florida Gulf Coast University has shocked the nation by staging two massive upsets in the NCAA men's basketball tournament and becoming the first 15-seed team ever to reach the Sweet Sixteen round.
Little-known FGCU beat San Diego State 81-71 on Sunday night, its second NCAA tournament upset of the weekend. Just like in their opening win over second-seeded Georgetown - the Eagles' calling card to the nation - there were plenty of laughs, dunks and dances.

GATOR BAIT!
Seconded.
I smiled when they beat Georgetown (aka Thug Ball University)
No offense, but I hope Florida loses because Obama picked them to go to the final 4.
I am constantly amazed at the breadth of coverage of things American by this online “paper” and especially news items that are not, and won’t be, covered by the US media. This one is a surprise though.

I think the Gators will win by at least 30.....I may go to game since it’s here in Dallas, but the ticket prices are outrageous.
If Obama picked Florida, I’m comfortable calling for “Eagle bait!”
Me too Bob.
I went to SU. I still hate Georgetown.
Go FGCU, beat the Gators... (I hate the GATORS!!)
I’ve got Louisville, Ohio State, Indiana and Florida in the Final Four, with Indiana winning it all. Going into Sweet 16, this scenario is still possible.
FGCU has at least three really strong players.
They were deeply under-ranked. In what universe is FGCU seeded 15 and Harvard is 14?
Anyway, they’re fun to watch.
Have a great time if you go. Gators 132 FGCU -6
You should have seen the Shockers play the Zags....now that looked like thug ball to me.
We hate you too.
