The Eagles have held every single A-Sun opponent but one (Jacksonville, 76) to 75 points or fewer this year. In fact, Jacksonville and UNF are the only teams who have even scored 70 points in league action against FGCU. In A-Sun conference games, ETSU ranks ninth out of 10 teams in field-goal percentage at 42.3 percent. FGCU leads the league in field-goal percentage defense in A-Sun games, allowing opponents to connect at just a 38.3-percent clip from the field.
ETSU leads the A-Sun in free-throw shooting for the year at 73.9 percent while FGCU ranks ninth at 67.1 percent. However, in league games only, the Bucs still pace the conference at 77.2 percent, but the Eagles are one of only four teams above 70 percent (70.9), good for fourth in the rankings.
