Someone needs to start thread. I will volunteer since I am season ticket holder for both teams (live in Ft Myers area).
FGCU has new coach and a lot of team turnover. Lost 3 seniors, a grad transfer, another left team, etc. have a couple very good returning shooters and two grad transfers. One a lanky point guard from Marquette. New coach was top assistant last year, but they will play a totally different brand of ball. I think a lot of press and up and down the court. They did not play an exhibition and I have not heard much about any scrimmages.
I think we should win. We are more talented and deeper. The exhibitions will help. I think they will be better by end of year, but last year they got a break playing us in first game, this year we are getting a break playing them in first game.
We can all complain about schedules all we want but check out theirs sometime. Multiple D2 and NAIA teams on regular season schedule. Despite that they play Michigan State and Florida.
I think we win by 10 in a high scoring sloppy game.
Go Redbirds. I will be wearing RED to watch the game.
