EAGLE HISTORY: FGCU TRADITIONS Primary Logo
The Logo Florida Gulf Coast University’s official athletics logo was designed by Kelly McCarthy, who is employed by FGCU and works in Community Relations and Marketing. Why Eagles The Eagle was adopted as the official symbol to reflect FGCU’s mission and purpose. The eagle serves to identify not only the physical environment of Southwest Florida but also the University’s relationship with it. The eagle embodies the characteristics of freedom, strength, spirit, intelligence, grace and the pursuit of excellence. It is master of its environment but also an integral part of it. It survives and prospers only in balance with the environment. Fight Song “Follow the Eagle” (written by: George Krumenacker) Follow the Eagle, Follow the Eagle Soaring through the skies so blue. Fight! Fight! Fight! With integrity and might, Follow the Green and Blue, GO EAGLES!
Follow the Eagle, Follow the Eagle, Lead us on to Victory! Strive for the goal; Give heart and soul, Fly on F-G-C-U! School Colors FGCU’s Founding President Roy McTarnaghan selected emerald green and cobalt blue as symbols of the earth and water, in keeping with FGCU’s environmental mission.

“” THE CITY OF PALMS ” In the late 1800s, Tootie McGregor and Thomas & Mina Edison began the beautification of Fort Myers. Imported Royal Palms were planted along Riverside Drive, later renamed McGregor Boulevard. These magnificent Royal Palms, some towering at 75 feet, give the City of Palms its nickname. Incorporated in 1886, Fort Myers is the center of a popular tourist area in Southwest Florida and the seat of Lee County. It is located about 120 miles south of Tampa at the meeting point of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caloosahatchee River. Fort Myers was the frequent winter home of Thomas Edison and is the current home of the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins spring training camps. The first known resident of what is now Fort Myers was Manuel Gonzalez, a Spaniard from the province of Asturias, who came via Cuba in the 19th century. Fort Myers, built in 1850 as a military fort to fend off Seminole Indians that were massacring the area's few settlers, was named after Col. Abraham C. Myers, who was stationed in Florida for seven years and was the son-inlaw of the fort's establisher and commander. In 1858, after years of elusive battle, Chief Billy Bowlegs and his warriors were persuaded to surrender and move west, and the fort was abandoned. Billy's Creek, which flows into the Caloosahatchee River and runs between The Beau Rivage Condominiums and Alta Mar, was named after a temporary camp where Billy Bowlegs and his men awaited ships to take them west. The fort was abandoned until 1863 when a small number of Federal troops re-occupied the fort during the Civil War. In 1865 the fort was attacked unsuccessfully by a very small group of Confederates. After the war, the fort was again deserted. The first settlers arrived in 1866, but it wasn't until 1882 when the city experienced a significant influx of settlers. By 1885, when Fort Myers was incorporated, it was the second largest city only to Tampa on Florida's west coast south of Cedar Key - even larger than Clearwater and Sarasota, also growing cities at the time. Fort Myers first became a nationally known winter resort with the building of The Royal Palm Hotel in 1898. The real spark of the city's growth was the construction of the Tamiami Trail Bridge built across the Caloosahatchee River in 1924. After the bridge's construction, the city experienced its first real estate boom and many subdivisions sprouted around the city.
Fort Myers is... • The home of the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates • The home of the Fort Myers Miracle baseball club of the Florida State League, and is the spring training locale for the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox. • The home of three minor league sports teams. The Florida Everblades (ECHL hockey team), Florida Firecats (Arena Football League 2 team) and Florida Stingrays (AIFA indoor football team).

FORT MYERS
The Florida of days long past, with unspoiled white sand beaches, exotic wildlife and lush subtropical foliage, still can be found on The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel in southwest Florida. Known as Florida’s tropical island getaway, this paradise is a favorite vacation spot because of its feel of old Florida that no longer exists in many areas. In addition to the beautiful natural environment, active travelers are pleased to find an abundance of golf, tennis and watersports, as well as some unusual attractions. Lee County embraces nine distinct areas, each with its own unique character. Best known are Sanibel and Captiva islands, connected to the mainland by an alluring three-mile-long causeway and, to each other, by a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it bridge at Blind Pass. Sanibel is known worldwide for its shelling. More than 400 varieties of shells litter the beaches, and particularly can be found after an especially high or low tide. For most visitors, however, shelling is merely a delightful excuse to enjoy hours of sun worshipping along some of the finest shoreline in North America. Interesting shops, restaurants, and art galleries dot the road from the Sanibel Lighthouse to Tarpon Bay Road. On the way to Captiva Island, located toward Sanibel’s northern tip, the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is home to many exotic species of birds and plants. A four-mile drive with access to walking and canoe/kayak trails offers outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities. The refuge occupies more than half the island. The main attraction on Captiva is that there are none. Many people wile away the hours in one outdoor endeavor or another. It was here that Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of the famous aviator, wrote her best-selling book, “A Gift from the Sea.” Further south, Estero Island, home of Fort Myers Beach, long has been recognized as one of the “world’s safest beaches” because of its gently sloping shoreline. The sand is particularly soft and white, akin to powdered sugar. Especially suited for family vacations, Estero offers every imaginable water toy, from windsurfer to catamaran and parasailing. Numerous marinas operate boating and fishing charters. Local restaurants benefit from the catch, which generally includes red snapper and grouper. Anyone suffering from island fever can find instant relief by paying a call to the “City of Palms,” in Fort Myers, with its charming downtown historic district and expanding hub of urban activity that extends to shopping malls, restaurants, and nightclubs. Inventor Thomas Edison and his friend, automobile manufacturer Henry Ford, decided early on to make their winter homes in Fort Myers. Today visitors tour their neighboring estates with Edison’s botanical gardens, laboratory and museum. During Edison’s 46 winters in Fort Myers, he and his wife Mina hosted well-known house guests like industrialist Harvey Firestone, President Herbert Hoover and cereal king John Harvey Kellogg. Henry Ford purchased his quaint home, “Mangoes,” in 1916 to spend the winter months visiting Edison. The two properties were separated by a fence the two families named “The Friendship Gate.” Other in-town attractions include the Southwest Florida Historical Museum, downtown river cruises, and the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium. Shell Factory in North Fort Myers and Eden Vineyards, the country’s southernmost bonded winery, to the east are also popular stops. For the sports minded, public golf courses and tennis courts make southwest Florida some of the best playing turf in the state.

FGCU Athletics facilitates and encourages involvement by our teams and individual student-athletes in the life of their community outside the boundaries of their normal college existence. As volunteers, FGCU student-athletes not only represent themselves, but also their respective teams, FGCU Athletics and Florida Gulf Coast University. By volunteering and giving back to Fort Myers and surrounding communities, FGCU student-athletes gain leadership skills through service while providing a positive influence in their community. From the time classes start in late August until the end of the spring semester, the FGCU men’s basketball program will donate countless hours of its time to be involved in the Fort Myers area. FGCU basketball has been very active in the community, helping the athletics program reach more than 10,000 youngsters in Southwest Florida through events such as: Eagle Reading, Eagle Math, Community Reach Out Program, Habitat for Humanity, Hoops for the Heart, visits to hospitals, Youth Detention Centers, and volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House.

SEASON PREVIEW The 2009-10 season marks year three of FGCU’s four-year reclassification period. The transition period has not been an easy one, but the FGCU Men’s Basketball program is optimistic about the road that lies ahead. This season the team returns four starters from last year’s squad, including the team’s top scorer and rebounder. The Eagles will once again play a challenging non-conference schedule, one that is marked with marquee names and strong traditions. Head coach Dave Balza enters his eighth season at FGCU. Balza and his staff are confident they have a team with the right work ethic and determination to get the Eagles where they want to be.

The Backcourt The strength of the Eagles attack lies in their backcourt. Balza’s up-tempo, hard-nosed style of play will rely heavily on both Baker and Chambers. As each enter their second season in an Eagle uniform, the two look to establish themselves as leaders on the 2009-10 squad. Despite a year off due to NCAA transfer rules, Baker played all 31 contests and had a stellar 2008-09 season. The Naples, Fla. native started 29 games at guard. He led the Eagles in scoring, averaging 13.4 points per game, and also shot a team and A-Sun best 84.4% from the charity stripe. Baker hit 32.8% of his shots from behind the arc, and finished 12th in the A-Sun in shooting. Baker had 14 games with 10 or more points, including seven 20 point games.
The FGCU roster is young, but talented. It includes three seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, two redshirt freshman and three true freshmen. The Eagles welcome back eight letterwinners from a year ago, while four of the 15 team members are in their first year at FGCU.
“Reed is hands down our top shooter,” said Balza.”He knows the game really well and he’s one of our best ball handlers. We’ll be looking for him to be a leader again this season.”
“We will be able to mix things up this season,” Balza said. “We have a blend of athletic players who really know the game. We have a talented young group who works extremely hard, and I believe if we stay healthy, we can break into the top half of the league.”
Chambers, an ultra quick guard, started 17 games. He earned A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors in his first season at FGCU. Chambers played in 29 games, averaged 8.6 points per contest, and led FGCU with 81 assists. His 2.79 assists per game landed him 12th in the A-Sun in that category. He finished 12 games with 10 or more points to compliment his 17 games with three or more assists.
Last season, 11 of the Eagles losses were by ten points or less, including three games by five or less. FGCU won two games by 10 or more points and another five by five points or less. “We have stressed the importance of recognizing when to take an early shot and when to be patient. This was an issue that haunted us last season. I believe this team will strike that balance of when to pass up a low-percentage shot and pursue a high-percentage shot later in the possession.” Balza holds a career mark of 170-128 (.570) in ten seasons as a head coach. At FGCU, Balza boasts a 135-80 (.628) record and has led the Eagles to 20 wins in four of his seven seasons. “I’m excited about what I see so far,” head coach Dave Balza said. “I really like their attitude and approach. We have had some really good practices and I believe we are farther along this year than we were a year ago. I believe the experience we gained last season has better prepared us for the 2009-10 season.” The Eagles four returning starters include junior guard Reed Baker (6-1, 180), sophomore guard Reggie Chambers (5-9, 155), senior forward Kyle Marks (6-5, 230) and senior forward Derrick O’Neil (6-5, 185). Sophomore guard Addison Smith (6-2, 210), sophomore forward Chad Lutkenhaus (6-5, 200), sophomore forward Ed Rolax (6-5, 215) and senior center George Erkvania (6-10, 240) are FGCU’s other four returning lettermen. The Eagles return three players that started 28 or more games last season, including three of the team’s top leading scorers, two of the team’s top three three-point shooters and the squad’s leader in rebounds and blocks.

“Reggie is very deserving of his honors,” said Balza. “But, he’s not satisfied with having a terrific freshman campaign. He’s dedicated himself to improving his game. We’ll look for Reggie to have an even greater impact in his sophomore season.” Off the bench, Addison Smith (6-2, 210) will play a pivotal role in the Eagles attack. Smith saw extensive playing time last season, averaging 13.5 minutes per contest. He adds great versatility off the bench as he collected 27 steals and 51 rebounds last season. Smith appeared in all but one game, making six starts in his freshman campaign. He averaged 13.5 minutes, 2.3 points, 1.3 assists and nearly one steal per contest. Smith recorded a season high four steals against Jacksonville in the season finale. “Addison is a big weapon off the bench,” said Balza.”He’s a combo guard who is talented both offensively and defensively.” The Frontcourt The Eagles return two senior captains in Marks and O’Neil. Both started nearly every game last season, and led FGCU in six statistical categories. Chad Lutkenhaus, Ed Rolax and George Erkvania, along with redshirts Anthony Banks and Eddie Murray will add depth to the Eagles frontline. At 6-foot-7, Marks will be a strong force in the paint for the Eagles in 2009-10. Marks, who started in all but one game last season, led the Eagles in blocks and was tied for the team lead with 139 defensive rebounds. His 51 blocks set an FGCU single season record. The West Palm Beach, Fla. native finished second in the A-Sun with 1.65 blocks per game. The potent shot-blocker had 14 games with multiple blocks. He finished his junior season averaging just under 10 points per game, adding 5.9 rebounds per contest and shot .502 from the field. “Kyle is one of the most athletic players in the league,” said Balza.”He is great around the basket and he adds great versatility to our team. He has the ability to make big-time plays with blocked shots or dunks that can change the momentum of the game.”

While battling a hand injury he suffered early in the season, O’Neil still appeared in all 31 games, making 28 starts. He led the Eagles in total rebounding with 226 boards and steals with 48. He averaged 9.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He finished fourth in the A-Sun with 2.81 offensive rebounds per game, and finished tied for eighth in defensive rebounding per game. “Derrick is one of our best defenders, “Balza noted.”He’s a high energy player who is fun to watch. He played through a hand injury almost all of last season and if he stays healthy, he can be one of the best defenders in the league. He showed us last year that he is a true leader and we will look for him to guide our team in the right direction. ” Lutkenhaus, a tri-captain along with Marks and O’Neil, appeared in every game last season. The junior forward from Labelle, Fla. made four starts in his second season in an Eagle uniform. He is one of the team’s best passers and screeners, last season he finished with 23 assists, 12 steals, 44 rebounds and shot 52.8 % from the field. He will play an important role off the bench for the Eagles this season. “Chad is an excellent role player,” said Balza. “We know we can go to him anytime and he will produce.” Rolax will vie for time at the small forward position. Last season Rolax averaged nearly 14 minutes, appeared in 31 games and made one start. He scored a season high 10 points while dishing out three assists against USC Upstate as the Eagles won by a 24-point margin. Rolax finished the season averaging nearly three points, and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 42%. George Erkvania will give the Eagles a skilled big man in the low post. Erkvania, a 6-9 native of Tbilisi, Georgia Republic, appeared in 22 games last season for the Eagles. He finished with 29 rebounds, 16 assists and three blocks. Banks and Murray look to make an impact this season after redshirting last year. Banks has fully recovered from a foot injury that sidelined him for the entire 2008-09 season. Murray has worked hard in the weight room to his improve his frame. Both are very athletic and eager to see time on the court. Newcomers Coach Balza brings in four talented newcomers to the 2009-10 squad. Guards Hunter Miller (6-2, 175), Brett Williams (6-3, 170) and Sherwood Brown (6-3, 185) as well as 6-foot-8 forward Charlie Lytle (6-8, 190).

Last season the Eagles completed their second Division I regular season. FGCU finished 11-20 overall and 7-13 in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Balza brought in the second ranked recruiting class in the A-Sun as freshman Reggie Chambers earned All-Freshmen team honors. In FGCU’s first season at the D-I level, Balza led the Eagles to a 10-21 record while posting a 6-10 A-Sun record. Balza led the Eagles to their most successfull season in the last year as a Division II member. They finished the season with a 27-6 record and led the nation in rebounding. Balza’s squads have also excelled on the defensive end, holding the opposition to just over 40% from the field and forcing nearly 16 turnovers per contest. FGCU has also posted a rebounding margin of nearly 10 rebounds per game better than the opposition over a four-year span. In 2004-05, FGCU posted the best rebounding margin for the second time in school history. Balza guided the Eagles to a berth in the NCAA Division II Championship Tournament in 2004-05, their first year eligible for post-season selection, after posting a 24-7 mark.

Joseph’s (Indiana) in the vaunted Great Lakes Valley Conference, considered the premier Division II basketball conference in the nation. One week before classes began, Balza took over a St. Joseph’s program that had been placed on two-year probation by the NCAA and proceeded to win more conference games than in the previous two seasons combined. More important, he restored a clean image to a program steeped in tradition. After wading through the penalties of the two-year probation, he won 18 games in his third year in a league that included three top-ten teams in the country. As a result, Balza was selected as the 2001 GLVC Coach of the Year and the Region Coach of the Year. Balza was also an assistant at Division II Ashland (Ohio) from 1996-98 and spent five years as an assistant at Division I Cleveland State from 1991 to 1996. Both of those coaching staffs took over programs that had been placed on probation and had great success turning around the fortunes of their teams, winning 18 games at Ashland and 22 games at CSU in just his second year at each institution. At Cleveland State, Balza made his name as a recruiter, helping to assemble one of the top 35 recruiting classes in the country. Balza has preached of “building a first class tradition” since taking the reigns at Florida Gulf Coast University. He has molded the Eagles into a model program for integrity on the basketball floor, in the classroom, and in the community. Academic success and community involvement are just as important to Balza as on-court preparation. His Eagles have a tremendous graduation rate and have hovered at or above a 3.0 cumulative G.P.A. In addition, Balza’s teams have been very active in the community, helping the athletics program reach more than 10,000 youngsters in Southwest Florida through events such as: Eagle Reading, Eagle Math, Community Reach Out Program, Habitat for Humanity, Hoops for the Heart, visits to hospitals, and volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House. A native of South Haven, MI, Balza is a 1991 graduate of the University of Michigan, where he served first as a student manager with the 1989 national championship team and later as a student assistant and video coordinator. Balza earned a master’s degree in education from Cleveland State University in 1993. He is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and has been published in the NABC Courtside magazine on the topic of post play.

FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY
FGCU Student Union Florida Gulf Coast University, with its innovative programs, technology friendly campus, and outstanding faculty, is one of the most exciting educational environments in America. FGCU, a member of the State University System of Florida, is a comprehensive university created to address the educational needs of the rapidly growing Southwest Florida population. Classrooms showcase state-of-the-art multimedia instructional systems that feature Internet access, document cameras, and audio and video presentations. Florida Gulf Coast University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degrees. FGCU received initial accreditation by SACS in 1999. The history of Florida Gulf Coast University is a visionary one built on support for providing higher education opportunities in Southwest Florida. Area citizens began the initiative to bring a state university to this part of Florida, and their early requests were quickly supported by elected officials at the local and state levels. With support from the Florida Board of Regents and the full Florida Legislature, a new university was born. The Board of Regents formally recommended in January 1991 the development of Florida’s tenth state university to be located in Southwest Florida; and, in May 1991, then Governor Lawton Chiles signed the legislation authorizing the new university. Southwest Florida’s support for a university was never more evident than during the next year, when private landowners offered more than 20 gift sites for the university campus. In early 1992, the Board of Regents selected the site offered by Ben Hill Griffin III and Alico, Inc. of 760 acres of land located just east of Interstate 75 between Alico and Corkscrew Roads. Roy McTarnaghan was named founding university president in April 1993. Initial staff were hired that summer, and the university’s academic and campus planning began in earnest. Plans for the first phase of campus construction were unveiled in February 1994; and shortly thereafter, the Florida Legislature named the institution as Florida Gulf Coast University. The vision for the university was one which would address emerging higher education needs for the 21st century, including the use of technology in the learning/teaching process and multi-year contracts as an alternative to faculty tenure. The Board of Regents approved an agreement in May 1995 with the United Faculty of Florida allowing FGCU to offer a contract system for faculty. Campus groundbreaking was held on November 28, 1995, with more than 600 people participating in the celebratory event for Southwest Florida. With aggressive academic program and campus development schedules slated to culminate in an opening day of August 25, 1997, the early staff and faculty were busy meeting deadlines every month. Inaugural degree programs were approved by the Board of Regents in March 1996. The FGCU Foundation, a private fundraising arm of the university, gained extraordinary financial support for an institution which at FGCU the time could only be seen on a drawing board. Faculty throughout the country were attracted to FGCU Vision for the opportunity to offer higher education in new and innovative ways. The first FGCU student, Mariana Coto, was admitted in January 1997; and she participated in the historic ribbon cutting on the university’s August 25, 1997 opening day. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools awarded FGCU accreditation candidacy later that year, and a comprehensive self-study was launched. The first commencement was held in May 1998, with 81 FGCU graduates. In August 1998, the first phase of student housing opened. In September, Founding President McTarnaghan announced his intention to step down on May 1, 1999. FGCU’s second commencement ceremonies, held May 1999, marked the last official act of the founding president, as well as the graduation of 417 students. The Board of Regents launched a national search held during the spring and summer for FGCU’s second president; and the university received official notification in June 1999 that it had achieved, in record time, accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In July 1999, the Board of Regents named William C. Merwin as FGCU’s second president. President Merwin arrived on campus for his first day on September 16, 1999. He immediately initiated a highly participatory strategic planning process for students, faculty, and staff to carry the young institution to its next stage of development.

PRESIDENT WILSON G. BRADSHAW
Wilson G. Bradshaw was appointed as the third president of FGCU by the Florida Gulf Coast University Board of Trustees on August, 25, 2007. “This is certainly one of the best days of my life. Thank you to the community, the board and the University.” Bradshaw said. “This was a grueling but honest process. A lot of people who cherish this University did a lot of work on its behalf. I am so pleased to be the next president of this fine institution. I can’t imagine a finer day in my life. The last thing I would like to say is in terms of a pledge. Now that I have been named the next president of FGCU, I promise I will give you my best. Thank you so much.” The FGCU 13-member Board of Trustees made the selection of Bradshaw unanimous, many citing his track record as a builder, a problem solver and a motivator. “Dr. Bradshaw has an extraordinary amount of energy. He has the emotional energy, the experience and the vision to lead this institution,” chairman Scott Lutgert said. Trustee Michael Villalobos said, “Dr. Bradshaw has the dynamics I think we need. He has the out of the box thinking we will need in the next decade.” Trustee Larry Hart said, “Dr. Bradshaw has all of the tools he needs to get in the automobile and drive it.”

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS KEN KAVANAGH
Ken Kavanagh, 49, begins his first year as Director of Athletics at Florida Gulf Coast University, having accomplished a great deal in his career to date. Kavanagh, the second full-time athletic director in school history, began his duties at FGCU in June of 2009. Kavanagh, who came to FGCU after 13 years at Bradley University, was appointed to his position on May 7, 2009 by FGCU President Dr. Wilson G. Bradshaw. The final year in Kavanagh’s first decade on Bradley’s “Hilltop” will go down as one of the greatest all-around years in BU Athletics history. During the 2005-06 season, a school-record three teams earned NCAA Tournament invitations, beginning with the third at-large selection for the soccer program in the fall and continuing with the men’s basketball team’s historic run to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in March that included victories over nationally ranked Kansas and Pitt. In addition, the women’s golf team won its fourth Missouri Valley Conference championship in eight years to gain its third trip to the NCAA Regionals. In 2007-08, Men’s Soccer reached a milestone “Elite Eight” appearance and men’s basketball also achieved a runner-up finish in the 2008 initial College Basketball Invitational (CIT). Most recently, in 2008-09, the Braves witnessed benchmark success with their first ever Missouri Valley Conference tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth and victory in softball, a runner-up finish in the inaugural Collegeinsider.com (CIT) post-season men’s basketball tournament and a record 21 victories in women’s basketball. While the Braves enjoyed successes on the playing field with Kavanagh, Bradley’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. For eight consecutive years, Bradley led the Valley in federal graduation rate (77 percent) and remained well ahead of the curve in the NCAA’s new Academic Progress Rate, receiving public recognition for its APR success in soccer, men’s golf, women’s tennis and volleyball.
During Kavanagh’s tenure at Bradley, the Braves accumulated 31 Academic All-America or Scholar All-America awards. BU also achieved new single game, regular season and attendance marks in men’s and women’s basketball, men’s soccer, and volleyball under his direction, as well as record revenue streams from external sources. Kavanagh helped Bradley’s Athletic facilities make significant strides during his tenure: most notably, the baseball team’s move to O’Brien Field (home Stadium of the Chicago Cubs Class “A” affiliate the Peoria Chiefs) in 2002 and the subsequent transformation of the old ballpark into Shea Stadium. Opened in August of 2003, this soccer exclusive venue is one of the finest of its kind in the entire Midwest. Additional enhancements included aesthetic aspects of Carver Arena (home venue for men’s basketball) and Haussler Hall (athletic complex), locker room improvements for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, as well as upgrades to the sports medicine training, department offices, Bradley Park softball complex and the realization of the Markin Tennis Courts. Most recently, Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse underwent a transformation during the summer of 2004, highlighted by the construction of a new strength and conditioning facility, satellite training area, women’s basketball offices and student-athlete study center. Under Kavanagh’s direction in 1996, Bradley Athletics established the BU B.L.A.S.T. (Building Leadership And Supporting Teams) NCAA Life Skills Program, which is designed to enhance the total being of Braves’ student-athletes. It involves activities ranging from personal, social and career development to community service projects and leadership opportunities. Also, Bradley was commended in March of 2002 by U.S. News & World Report for having the seventh-best College Sports Program in terms of gender equity and the athletic department’s effort for equality was further recognized in 2007 when Bradley received an “A” from the Women’s Sports Foundation for its gender equity performance. Kavanagh served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Committee, a panel that he chaired in 2007. This body is responsible for selecting the 48 teams that compete in the NCAA Tournament and oversees the administration of the event. He served two terms as the vice-president of the Missouri Valley Conference joint committee and was also a member of the MVC’s Executive and Media/Marketing Committees. He also chaired the MVC’s Championship and Officiating Committees and was a member of the MVC’s Gender Equity, Sportsmanship and Conference Relations Committees. One of the founders of the I-AAA Athletic Directors’ Association in 2000-01, Kavanagh is the Third Vice-President for the organization, which is comprised of the 101 non-football playing Division I member institutions and nine related conferences. In recognition of his accomplishments at Bradley and as a leader in college athletics, Kavanagh was named the Central Region Division I AstroTurf Athletic Director of the Year during the 2008 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics convention in Dallas. Also active in civic organizations, Kavanagh has previously served on the advisory boards for the Salvation Army and Dunlap Recreation Association and he is a long-standing current board member and three-term past president of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Peoria. A member of the 1999 Peoria’s “40 Leaders Under Forty” class, Kavanagh also maintains active membership with the Knights of Columbus. Kavanagh went to Bradley from Bowling Green State University, where he steadily moved up the administrative ranks in nine years. After starting as an assistant athletic director in 1987, Kavanagh left BGSU in 1996 as the senior associate athletic director. In his final position with the Falcons, Kavanagh was the administrator for football, men’s basketball and hockey while also acting as event manager. Responsible for facility management, he also supervised The Ken Kavanagh File the staffs for sports medicine, equipment and strength and conditioning. (Administrative Appointments) Kavanagh also served as the chief liaison for the financial affairs area. • 2009-Present - Director of Athletics, Florida Gulf Coast University • 1996-2009 - Director of Athletics, Bradley University • 1987-96: Rose to Senior Associate Athletic Director, Bowling Green State University • 1985-87 - Graduate Assistant, University of Notre Dame • 1983-85 - Director of Events and Team Travel, Yale University • 1982-83 - Assistant Manager of Contests and Promotions, Yale University
Education • 1982 - Bachelor’s in Finance, Boston College • 1987 - Master’s in Marketing and Human Resources, University of Notre Dame
Kavanagh began his administrative career by working in the athletic department at Yale University from 1982 to 1985, then worked as a graduate assistant in the athletic department at the University of Notre Dame from 1985 to 1987 before joining Bowling Green. Athletic administration runs in Kavanagh’s bloodlines: his uncle, Kevin Kavanagh, is the former baseball coach and athletic director at Loyola College in Baltimore, planting the seed that athletic administration would be his nephew’s calling.

COMPLIANCE
The NCaa Rules Florida Gulf Coast University is committed to full compliance with all Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) and National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) rules and regulations. Therefore, Florida Gulf Coast University is responsible for insuring its student-athletes, coaches, faculty and staff, alumni, donors, boosters and friends adhere to the rules of the A-Sun and NCAA. The loyalty and support demonstrated by our fans, alumni and friends is unparalleled. Please help Florida Gulf Coast University position itself for greatness today and in the future by reviewing this summary of NCAA rules. I. Representatives of Athletic Interests. A “representative of FGCU’s athletic interests,” or booster is anyone who: • Have participated in or to be a member of an agency or organization promoting the institution’s intercollegiate athletics program; • Have made financial contributions to the athletics department or to an athletics booster organization of that institution; Be assisting or to have been requested (by the athletics department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospects; • Be assisting or to have assisted in providing benefits to enrolled studentathletes or their families; or Have been involved otherwise in promoting the institution’s athletics program. The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has been identified as a “representative” of Florida Gulf Coast University’s athletic programs he or she retains this status forever. This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to the athletics program. II. Recruiting. Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletic representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at Florida Gulf Coast University. Please contact the coaching staff if you know of a prospect that may have the interest and ability to participate in intercollegiate athletics at Florida Gulf Coast University. The coach can then take appropriate action. III. Prospective Student-Athlete. A prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade. In addition, a student-athlete who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual’s relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally. IV. Extra Benefits. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a studentathlete (or a student-athlete’s relative or friend) a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Extra benefits would include, but are not limited to: • Cash or loans in any amount • Co-singning or arranging a loan • Gifts or free services (airline ticket, restaurant meals, etc.) • Use of an automobile • Rent-free or reduced-cost housing • Money for, or a guarantee of, bail or bond • Employment of a student-athlete at a rate higher than the wages paid for similar work •Payment to a student-athlete for work not performed Your commitment to helping Florida Gulf Coast University comply with the letter and the spirit of the rules and regulations of the A-Sun and the NCAA is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions concerning A-Sun or NCAA rules which help govern FGCU Athletics, please contact the FGCU Compliance Office at (239) 590-7573.

From the opening tip, Richmond jumped out in front, gaining a 7-2 advantage just 3 minutes into the contest. The Eagles fought back, quickly erasing the deficit and gaining a lead of their own, thanks in large part to Kyle Marks. Marks’ lay-up just under four and a half minutes into the game was the first made field goal for FGCU, and it sparked a 9-0 run, putting the Eagles out in front by four. Marks added another field goal during that span, and he would finish the night with 11 points on 5-10 shooting. Richmond went into the locker room clinging to a slim lead, 33-30. In the second half, neither team was able to pull away; the largest lead was eight, until the final minute of the game. The Spiders maintained their lead throughout the first 11 minutes of the half. With 8:34 to play, Reed Baker hit a three that brought the Eagles to within a point at 49-48. On the next possession, Baker’s alley-oop pass was layed in by Derrick O’Neil, giving the Eagles their first lead of the half. The Spiders bounced back quickly, running eight consecutive points to reclaim the lead, 57-50. Delvin Franklin ended that run with a three-point basket, trimming the lead to four. That was as close as the Eagles would get.

Bradley 58 FGCU 54 Alico Arena (O’Reilly Auto Parts College Basketball Experience Classic) The Bradley Braves narrowly escaped Alico Arena with a victory over FGCU, 58-54, during the second day of action in the O’Reilly Auto Parts College Basketball Experience Classic Fort Myers Subregional. With Bradley leading 7-4, FGCU went on a 13-4 run, capped off by a Christian Wolf jumper. Derrick O’Neil and Reggie Chambers each tallied nine points and two steals in the first half for the Eagles. The Eagles would take a 30-28 lead into the locker room. In the second half, the Braves came out and dominated the opening minutes, starting the half on a 6-0 run. The Eagles would not go away, chipping away at the lead, and never letting Bradley open up a wide margin. The largest lead Bradley would hold was just eight points. Reed Baker’s three with 3:01 remaining gave the Eagles their first lead in over 16 minutes, at 52-51. 30 seconds later Sam Maniscalco converted a three-point play on the other end to put Bradley back in front by two, a lead they would not relinquish. A Reed Baker jumper with 1:04 remaining brought the Eagles to within two at 56-54. Bradley’s Maniscalco turned it over on the ensuing possession, giving FGCU an opportunity to tie or take the lead with less than 30 seconds left. Kyle Marks’ fadeaway jumper fell short, and the ball ended up in the hands of the Braves’. Reggie Chambers led the way with 13 points. Reed Baker added 11 points, four rebounds, and a team-high four assists. Derrick O’Neil also had 11 points as well as six rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Kyle Marks also reached double-figures with 11 points in addition to six rebounds.

The Eagles (2-4) got off to a strong start, opening the game with a 10-4 run that included three field goals from Derrick O’Neil. FGCU would extend the lead to as many as eight points after an O’Neil layup gave the Eagles a 16-8 lead with 12:06 to play. The Owls (3-5) would battle back, outscoring the Eagles 14-4 over the next six minutes. A pair of Delvin Franklin free throws put the Eagles back out in front with 5:20 to play in the half at 23-22. FAU would regain the lead 15 seconds later on a Carderro Nwoji jumper. In a half that would see five ties and three lead changes, the Owls would eventually take a slim 30-28 lead into the locker room. The second half was very close throughout, with the Owls clinging to a slight lead for most of the half. The Eagles trailed until the 3:04 mark when O’Neil hit a free throw to tie the game at 53 apiece. 28 seconds later Chad Lutkenhaus connected on a free throw to give the Eagles a 54-53 lead, their first lead since the 5:20 mark in the first half. Reed Baker drilled a jumper with 1:40 left to make it a three-point game, and Derrick O’Neil hit three clutch free throws in the closing seconds to clinch it for the Eagles. Derrick O’Neil turned in the best performance for the Eagles, scoring 27 points on 7-10 shooting, including 1-1 from 3-point range. He also converted 12-16 free throws, pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, and added three steals, two assists, and two blocks. Reed Baker recorded nine points and four assists for FGCU. Kyle Marks also added nine points and six rebounds.
FGCU was leading 32-22 with 3:57 remaining in the first half but a pair of miscues cost the Eagles their big lead. At 3:57 Diaz stepped in and took a charge from Derrick O’Neil (Moreno Valley, Calif.) and then hustled down at the other end where he took a pass down low, faked Kyle Marks (West Palm Beach, Fla.) up in the air and drew a hard, intentional foul. He missed both of his free throws, but Mark Lohuis and Tim Lang followed with a pair of treys and the Hatters were within five at 32-28. An A.J. Smith trey with 26 seconds remaining finished the Hatter run and sent the teams into the locker room with the Eagles up by just one at 34-33. The second half started off like the first. FGCU came out aggressive and went on a quick 12-2 run through the first 4:47 of the half to give the Eagles a 46-35 lead with 15:13 remaining. For the game the Eagles had four players hit in double figures. Vega led the team with 14 points. Delvin Franklin (Houston, Tex.) and Baker both finished with 13 points. Marks picked up a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds. O’Neil also had a solid game for FGCU grabbing a career-high 16 boards and scoring seven points.

FGCU got off on the right foot, opening the game on a 10-4 run as five different Eagles each hit a field goal in the first 4:11 of the contest. The Camels found their scoring touch quickly, charging back to take the lead 16-12 with 10:09 to play in the first half. FGCU stormed right back, scoring 15 unanswered points, including 10 from Reed Baker. Campbell would again respond with a run of their own, ending the half on an 8-0 run to close the gap to just four points, 38-34. Campbell came out in the second half and immediately regained the momentum that they ended the first half with, opening the half on a 13-4 run, keyed by three lay-ups and two free throws from Jonathan Rodriguez. The Eagles quickly regained the lead after an 8-0 spurt capped by a three-pointer and jumper from Delvin Franklin. The teams then exchanged blows for about four minutes, trading the lead twice and drawing even with one another four separate times. With the score tied at 56, the Eagles rattled off nine straight points, giving the home team the lead 65-56 with 4:36 to play. But, just like in the first half, the Camels would not go down easily. After two Preston Dodson layups and a jumper by Lorne Merthie, Campbell cut the lead to 65-62 with 3:04 left. With nine seconds left, the Eagles held a one-point deficit. Campbell was unable to get off a shot, eventually turning the ball over with nine seconds left.

The Eagles came out and dominated the game’s opening minutes, running out to a 13-0 lead six minutes into the contest. FGCU held the Wildcats scoreless until a jumper from Stephen Nosworthy got Johnson & Wales on the scoreboard 6:06 into the game. Two Delvin Franklin three-pointers would give the Eagles their largest lead of the half, 19-3, with 12:53 left in the first half. Another Nosworthy jumper brought the Wildcats to within eight at 25-17, but the Eagles would end the half on a 6-0 run to end the half with a 31-17 lead. In the second half, the Eagles continued to maintain a double-digit lead throughout. A layup from Jarrod Johnson cut the lead to 12 with 13:13 to play, but that was as close as Johnson & Wales would get. FGCU continued their solid defensive play throughout, holding the Wildcats to just 29.8% shooting on the day, leading to the 19 point victory. For the Eagles (4-6), Derrick O’Neil recorded a team-high 14 points in addition to pulling down a team-high seven boards and dishing out a game-high five assists. Addison Smith contributed 11 points and grabbed five rebounds. Delvin Franklin reached double-figures as well, scoring 11 points.

The Eagles started out shooting well, opening up a 21-5 lead 7:14 into the game. Delvin Franklin shot especially well in the early going, knocking down three of his four 3-point attempts during that stretch. FGCU worked hard on the glass in the first half, outrebounding the Black Knights 22-13. Three pointers were a big story as well, as the Black Knights made just 1-11 from behind the arc, while the Eagles shot 6-11 from three-point range. That 15-point differential was nearly identical to the advantage that FGCU held at the break, leading 40-23. In the second half, the Eagles started well, extending the lead to as much as 25 points after a Derrick O’Neil layup made the score 57-32 with 11:42 to play. But the Black Knights would fight back, closing the gap to 20 points with 7:03 to play. From that point, Army went on a 17-2 run to bring the lead down to just five points, 64-59, with 1:46 left in the game. But Army’s Josh Miller missed a jumper and then missed a three-pointer on their next possession, allowing the Eagles to maintain their lead into the closing seconds. Reed Baker pulled down a couple key rebounds down the stretch and connected on all four of his free throw attempts to close out the game for the Eagles, as they went on to win by a score of 70-61. For the Eagles (5-8), Reed Baker led all scorers with 26 points, along with a gamehigh nine rebounds. Kyle Marks also had a game-high nine rebounds to go along with nine points. Reggie Chambers handed out a game-high five assists as well as scoring nine points.

76 FGCU 82 Belmont Nashville, Tenn.
FGCU was in control for most of the first half, until the Bisons went on a 9-0 run over the final 2:50 of the first half and took a 38-30 lead into the intermission. Lipscomb began the second half similar to the way that they ended the first half. The Bisons went on a 11-3 run to push their lead to 49-33 over the first 4:44 of the half. FGCU continued to fight to get back into the contest and eventually cut the Bisons lead down to five points with only nine seconds left, which gave the Eagles no time to continue their comeback. Baker led the Eagles with 23 points and five rebounds. Baker shot 7-of-17 from the field, including 6-of-9 from three-point range. Franklin chipped in with 15 points and a team-high three assists.

The Hatters jumped out to an early 8-0 lead after back-to-back three’s from Garfield Blair and A.J. Smith. The Eagles would slowly chip away at the lead, eventually taking their first lead of the game after a 3-pointer from Reggie Chambers made it 13-12 with 9:09 to play in the first half. After a Sheldon Oliver lay-up momentarily gave the lead back to Stetson, a 3-pointer from Delvin Franklin quickly gave the Eagles back the lead, which they would not relinquish for the remainder of the first half. FGCU ended the half on a little 4-0 run, with Reed Baker accounting for all four points, to take a 29-23 lead into the locker room. In the second half, FGCU got started early building on their 6-point halftime lead. After a Kyle Marks jumper with 17:29 remaining, the Eagles held a 39-25 advantage. FGCU continued to add on to the lead, extending it to as much as 22 points, holding a 54-32 lead with 12:44 to play. The Hatters would mount a bit of a comeback, pulling within 10 points with 1:40 to play, and even getting as close as eight points with 1:19 to play. But, unlike their previous meeting in DeLand earlier this season, the Eagles were able to handle the Stetson press as well as hit clutch free throws down the stretch, as they were able to hang on for an 85-76 victory. For the Eagles (6-10, 2-3), Reed Baker scored a team-high 23 points, shooting 6-12 from the field and 9-12 from the free throw line. Delvin Franklin added 19 points, and Kyle Marks scored 17 points and registered a game-high three blocked shots. Addison Smith recorded a game-high 10 rebounds as well as a game-high six assists.

Early on the Bucs opened up a 16-8 margin, after Mike Smith drilled a three with 11:59 left in the first half. Delvin Franklin knocked down a free throw with 7:08 left to cut the margin to four points at 23-19, but FGCU was unable to get any closer in the first half. ETSU ended the first half on a 6-0 run to carry a 30-22 lead into the break. FGCU came out in the second half and jumped on the Bucs right away, pulling even at 36-36 just 3:28 into the half. But ETSU would respond with a 9-1 run to regain their 8-point edge with 13:37 left. The Bucs would hold on to a healthy lead for awhile, and after an Isiah Brown dunk, ETSU held a 51-42 lead with 10:57 to play. The Eagles quickly cut into the nine-point lead, as Reggie Chambers knocked down a jumper and a three-pointer and Ed Rolax hit a pair of free throws to pull within two at 5149. Once again the Bucs responded, running off six straight points to reassert an eight-point lead with 6:55 remaining in the game. A few minutes later, Delvin Franklin connected on a three-point shot to bring the Eagles back to within 3 points at 59-56. Kevin Tiggs of ETSU knocked down a pair of free throws with 1:28 left, giving the Bucs a 61-57 lead. After Kyle Marks’ shot was blocked by Isiah Brown, Derrick O’Neil drew a foul and hit both free throws, advancing the score to 61-59 with 1:11 to go. On the Bucs next possession, Reggie Chambers picked Courtney Pigram’s pocket and ran the floor to perfection, hitting a layup and drawing a foul. With the scored tied at 61 and just 37 seconds remaining, Chambers connected on the free throw to give FGCU a one-point lead. After ETSU called a timeout, the Bucs held the ball until about seven seconds left. Pigram handed off to Isiah Brown, who was 3-4 from the field in the game, for the last shot, but Brown’s 18-foot jumper was too strong, and the Eagles’ Delvin Franklin pulled down the rebound off the back iron. Franklin hit both free throws at the other end, and Courtney Pigram’s last second prayer was not answered, and FGCU held on for a 64-61 victory.

The Spartans came out and immediately jumped on the Eagles, scoring the first five points of the game, and holding a lead for the first eight minutes of the game. Reed Baker’s layup with 11:57 left in the half gave FGCU their first lead of the day, 13-12, and they would not surrender the lead for the rest of the game. Reggie Chambers’ three-pointer with six seconds left in the half capped an 8-0 run for FGCU that sent the Eagles into the locker room holding a 38-24 advantage. FGCU maintained a healthy cushion over the Spartans throughout the second half, never allowing the lead to dip below 14 points. A jumper from George Erkvania with 12:18 left gave the Eagles a 60-39 lead. From that point the lead stayed above 20 points for the remainer of the game. In a half that featured mostly reserves playing for both sides, Ed Rolax scored six points and Addison Smith scored five points for the Eagles. For the Eagles (7-10, 3-3), Kyle Marks scored 16 points and pulled down four boards. Reggie Chambers also scored 16 points and added four assists and three steals.

Over the final six minutes of the game, KSU held a four-point lead on five different occasions including a 70-66 lead with 11 seconds remaining. However, Florida Gulf Coast (8-12, 4-5 A-Sun) trimmed the Owls lead to one point when Reggie Chambers (Miramar, Fla.) drained a long distance three-pointer with 7.1 seconds left to play. The Owls had to withstand a desperation three-pointer from Chambers at the buzzer after McConnell missed the front-end of a one-and-one with just over two seconds left to play. FGCU had three players in in double-figures with Chambers scoring 15 points, Delvin Franklin (Houston, Tex.) finishing with 14 points, and Kyle Marks (West Palm Beach, Fla.) tallying 13 points as the Eagles dropped their second game in a row.

The Ospreys opened the game on a 9-2 run. UNF held that lead for the rest of the first half, extending it to as much as 11 points after a Stan Januska three-pointer with 3:06 to play in the half. The Ospreys would carry an 11-point advantage into the half, leading 26-15. In the second half, FGCU scored the first four points to cut the lead to 26-19. UNF responded to bring the lead back up to 10 points at 30-20 with 17:02 left in the game. The Eagles then went on a 13-2 run, capped by a pair of Derrick O’Neil free throws, giving the Eagles their first lead of the game, 33-32. A jumper from Kyle Groothuis quickly gave the lead back to the Ospreys, but two more O’Neil free throws switched the lead once again. With 7:39 to play, Eni Cuka knocked down a three for the Ospreys, giving UNF a 37-35 lead. FGCU’s Ed Rolax came back to hit a jumper, and Reggie Chambers hit a pair of free throws on the next possession, giving FGCU the lead once again. But Cuka would respond again, connecting on another three with exactly 4:00 to play, giving the Ospreys a 41-39 lead. The score remained that way until a Reggie Chambers layup with 2:20 left, tying the game for the fifth time. UNF’s Germaine Sparks hit one of two free throws to regain the lead, but Reggie Chambers came up big again, driving the length of the court for another layup, giving the lead back to the Eagles with 1:49 to play. The Ospreys would again respond with a layup with 1:27 to play gave UNF a 44-43 lead. On FGCU’s next possession, Derrick O’Neil drove to the basket for a layup, giving the Eagles a 45-44 lead with 59 seconds left. At that point, the Eagles defense took over, shutting down the UNF offense for the remainder of the contest. The Eagles converted on five-of-six free throws down the stretch to earn the 50-44 victory.

Both teams came out of the gates shooting well, and within four and a half minutes the score was tied at 10. Ben Smith’s three with 13:27 left in the half put the Dolphins in front 15-12, but the Eagles rattled off eight consecutive points to take a 20-15 lead. Jacksonville battled back to tie it at 20 apiece, but FGCU clamped down on defense for the final 10 minutes of the half, allowing just two field goals to the Dolphins, and the Eagles carried a 29-24 lead into halftime. In the second half, the Eagles were able to push the lead out to as much as 11 points with 15:25 to play at 43-32. But over the next three and a half minutes, JU went on a 13-0 run to take a two point lead with just under 12 minutes to go. The Eagles regained the lead with 7:54 left thanks to a three from Reed Baker, but that would be the final lead that FGCU would hold. The Dolphins Lehmon Colbert hit a 3-pointer with 4:51 to play to extend the JU lead to four points, followed immediately by a 4-0 spurt by the Eagles to tie the game at 57 apiece. Shortly thereafter, Jacksonville’s Tevin Galvin hit a three, and after a Kyle Marks free throw, Ben Smith hit another three, putting the visitors out in front 63-58 with 2:36 to play. Marcus Allen’s layup and a free throw from Smith made it 66-58 with 1:05 left, essentially sealing the victory for the Dolphins. Derrick O’Neil’s three-point play with 48 seconds left brought the home team within five and momentarily gave the fans at Alico Arena a reason to stick around, but JU hit their free throws down the stretch, and eventually walked out of Alico with a 75-65 win. For the Eagles (9-13, 5-6), Reed Baker scored a team-high 15 points on 4-14 shooting from the field. Christian Wolf played a solid game, scoring 12 points and grabbing five boards in 20 minutes off the bench. Derrick O’Neil also reached double-figures in scoring with 10, and pulled down six rebounds as well.

Belmont hit 11-of-18 3-pointers in the first half and didn’t look back as they headed into halftime with an 18 point cushion. The Eagles shot the ball well going 7-of-15 from behind the arc but were never able to come within striking distance of the Bruins.

Freshman Reggie Chambers (Miramar, Fla.) led the way for the Eagles with 19 points on 6-of-14 shooting, while dishing out six assists and grabbing four rebounds.

The Eagles came out strong in the first half, as they used their three-point shooting to shred the ETSU man-to-man defense and build a 23-15 lead with 13 minutes left in the half. However, from there the Bucs went to a 2-3 zone and clamped down defensively, allowing just one field goal over the next six minutes and kicking up the offense on a 21-4 run that ended with the Bucs holding a 36-27 advantage. ETSU didn’t let up at that point, outscoring FGCU 16-8 the rest of the half to take a 52-35 lead at the break. In the first 20 minutes, the Bucs shot 57 percent from the field and 58 percent from three-point range, while holding the Eagles to just 27 percent shooting. The Bucs also out-rebounded FGCU 24-18 in the first half. The second half was more of the same, as ETSU posted another 50 points in 20 minutes of play and shot 48 percent from the field. Ultimately, the Bucs out-rebounded FGCU 47-38 and forced 17 FGCU turnovers. ETSU shot 52 percent from the field and held the Eagles to only 37.3 percent. Baker (Naples, Fla.) and Chambers (Miramar, Fla.) led the Eagles with 18 points apiece, while Derrick O’Neil (Moreno Valley, Calif.) added 10 points and seven boards.

In what was an increasingly physical match-up as the game progressed, Upstate and Florida Gulf Coast kept punching and counter-punching in the first half. Neither team was able to grab a lead larger than six points as the lead changed hands six times in the first 20 minutes of play. After the Spartans opened a 23-17 lead with 5:11 to play, FGCU countered with an 8-0 run to take a 25-23 lead. The Spartans got the lead back and went into halftime with a 27-26 advantage.After Florida Gulf Coast took a 28-27 lead on Kyle Marks’ jumper to open the second half, Upstate stormed into the lead with a 15-2 run over the next four minutes to open a 42-30 advantage with 15:17 to play. The Spartans maintained its double-digit lead, holding a 54-42 edge with 9:47 to play. That’s when FGCU fought to get back into the game. The Eagles rattled off a 9-2 run over the next three minutes to cut Upstate’s lead to five, 56-51. However, Mezie Uzochukwu’s jumper gave the Spartans a seven-point lead with 5:54 to play. Despite being held without a field goal for the remainder of the game, the Spartans held on for the win by converting 13-of-14 free throws the rest of the way. The only Eagle to score in double figures was Reed Baker. He finished with a game-high 24 points. He shot 7-of-19 from the field and 3-of 12 from three-point range.

The Eagles got off to a good start, holding an 8-5 lead after Reggie Chambers’ layup just over three minutes into the game. But the Bears would come back, taking a 16-12 lead after Mark Hall’s three pointer with 13:56 to play in the half. Mercer would continue to extend the lead, eventually stretching to as many as 13 points after another Hall three-pointer with 5:58 to go. FGCU went on a quick 7-0 run to cut it to six at 32-26 with 4:37 to play, but couldn’t get it any closer than that, as Mercer used a 5-0 run of their own at the end of the half to carry a 44-32 advantage into the break. In the second half, Mercer continued to build on their lead, starting the half on a 8-3 run over the first 6:11. But then the Eagles started to put something together, starting with a layup from Delvin Franklin. On the next possession, Franklin got fouled and hit both free throws, cutting the lead to 52-39. After a multitude of missed shots and turnovers by both teams, Franklin connected on a three to pull the Eagles within 10 at 52-42 with 10:53 to play. Then Reggie Chambers pulled down a rebound and raced down court for a layup, making it 52-44. After Mercer’s James Florence was whistled for a technical foul, Reed Baker hit one of two free throws to trim the lead down to just seven at 52-45. The Bears finally stopped the run when E.J. Kusnyer knocked down a three to reestablish a 10 point lead with just under 10 minutes to go. But once again, the Eagles fought back, and after a pair of Kyle Marks free throws and a three-point play from Delvin Franklin, FGCU was within five at 57-52 with 7:42 to go. Over the next couple minutes the teams basically traded baskets, with the lead hovering around five. With 5:22 to play, Kusnyer converted the rare four-point play, staking the Bears to a nine point lead at 65-56. Finally, with just over a minute to go, Delvin Franklin rattled home a three to cut the lead down to five, 74-69. But that was as close as the Eagles would get, as the Bears hit their free throws down the stretch to hold on for the 82-75 victory.

After Derrick O’Neil put the Eagles on the board first, Kennesaw State went on a 7-0 run to take a 7-2 lead just over two minutes into the game. FGCU came back, and after Delvin Franklin knocked down the first of his two three-pointers, the Eagles held a 13-12 lead. A few minutes later, Franklin connected on a pair of free throws to put FGCU in front 18-16. Over the next minute and a half, the Owls went on a 10-0 run to take a 26-18 lead. KSU maintained a healthy margin until the closing minutes of the first half, when FGCU went on a 7-3 run to trim the lead down to four points, as the Owls took a 32-28 lead into halftime. The Eagles jumped on the Owls at the onset of the second half, scoring the first six points to take a 34-32 lead. Jon-Michael Anderson knocked down a three to quickly grab the lead back for the Owls, just over two minutes into the half. With 13:54 left, Kyle Marks rejected an attempted layup from Spencer Dixon, and Marks ran the floor and threw down a tomahawk jam at the other end to give the Eagles a 40-39 lead. Kennesaw’s Kelvin McConnell hit a jumper a few seconds later to regain the lead for KSU, and the teams went back-and-forth for the next couple minutes, trading leads six times. With two minutes to play, Kennesaw held a slim 57-56 lead. FGCU’s Reggie Chambers drove into the lane and made a circus-shot layup to put the Eagles in front 58-57 with 1:52 to play. After McConnell missed a three for KSU, Reed Baker knocked down an 18-footer to put FGCU in front by three with 1:01 left. With about 30 seconds left, both Dixon and McConnell had good looks at the basket, but both came up short, and when Kyle Marks pulled down the rebound and hit one of two free throws, he sealed the victory for the Eagles, 61-57.

FGCU erased an 11-point UNF halftime lead and turned it into a six-point win in the first meeting with the Ospreys this year, but that wasn’t the case Thursday after the Ospreys weathered a late first half rally by the Eagles and took the game over when the second half started, leading by as many as 19 points. UNF held an 11-point lead with 5:42 to play in the first half and looked to be in good shape after a Cortez Riley jumper put the Ospreys up 35-25 with 52 seconds to play in the half. The Eagles, however, scored the last six points of the half with the final two coming on a Delvin Franklin (Houston, Texas) steal and layup in the final seconds of the half. Stan Januska got the Ospreys going again in the second half, draining a three-pointer that Cuka followed with a driving layup to put the Ospreys up 40-31. A Kyle Marks (West Palm Beach, Fla.) dunk at the 16:30 mark of the half cut the lead to four points, but the Ospreys were finally able to take charge with an 11-0 run that Cuka began with a three-pointer at the 8:36 mark. He followed that with another threepointer before giving the Ospreys their biggest lead of the game, 64-45 advantage, with a layup at the 5:49 mark. The Eagles were able to cut the Osprey advantage to 10 in the final five minutes of play but would get no closer. The win was the first for UNF against Florida Gulf Coast in seven tries and also kept the Eagles winless on the road this season. Derrick O’Neil (Moreno Valley, Calif.) led the Eagles with 15 points, followed by Marks who scored 13 and had a game-high eight rebounds.

JU led by 11 at the half and pushed the lead to as many as 23 in the second half, cruising to a school-record 13th win in conference play. One key to JU’s victory was their team defense, holding the Eagles to 35.8 percent shooting and just 53 points. The Dolphins controlled the glass as well, holding a 42-35 advantage while scoring 19 second chance points. The defense also forced 23 turnovers and the Dolphins converted those into 30 points. The Eagles scored the game’s opening basket, led a few minutes later at 4-3, and never was in the game again as JU had a nine-point lead midway through the opening half en route to a 34-23 lead at the intermission. The Dolphins put to bed any hopes of a comeback in the opening five minutes, going on a 10-1 run to push the lead to 20. The lead grew to as many as 23 and the Eagles cut the deficit to 14 with 3:36 left in the game, but were never able to get back into the contest.
