Rebounding will likely be a deciding factor in the outcome of the game as all five of La Salle’s losses have come when it has been out-rebounded, and FGCU has not yet won a game when it is out-rebounded. In their six wins, the Eagles are averaging 48.7 rebounds and out-rebounding their opponents by a 10.5 margin. In their seven losses, the Eagles are averaging just 37.3 rebounds and being out-rebounded by a 3.3 margin.

SWEET 16 CINDERELLAS While FGCU captured the country’s attention with its high-flying Dunk City attack en route to becoming the only 15 seed in NCAA Tournament history to reach the Sweet 16 in 2013, La Salle flew under the radar nationally but advanced the Sweet 16 the same year as a 13 seed. It marked the first time in NCAA Tournament history that two teams seeded 13 or worse advanced to the Sweet 16 in the same year.
