I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Florida Gulf Coast.
The FGCU Eagles were the first No. 15 seed in history to advance to the Sweet Sixteen when they defeated the No. 7 seeded San Diego State last weekend.
What was even more impressive was when they knocked off No. 2 Georgetown two days prior.
Coming from someone who had the Hoyas all the way to Atlanta in the Final Four, I was a little upset when FGCU upset the Georgetown fans, who were also pretty upset.
But this not just a one-night upset. The Eagles wanted to make this a regular thing and now have to win two more games and become a true Cinderella story.
Even long shots in the past like George Mason, Butler and VCU do not even compare to the unlikely hood of FGCU.
FGCU is the second lowest seed in a brackets region. It has no business even being talked about at this point.
The Eagles next challenge comes from the dominant program in the state: the Florida Gators.
I say, forget my bracket, let the Eagle wins continue. Let the madness continue.
I've got Florida Gulf Coast fever, and I don’t want it to go away.
