Day 7 Of March: Dunk City

You'd be hard pressed to find a more exciting team than Florida Gulf Coast last year. Led by Andy Enfield, one of very few college basketball coaches with a supermodel wife, the Eagles busted just about every bracket, and put themselves on the national map with wins over Georgetown and San Diego St. They became the first fifteen seed to ever advance to the Sweet Sixteen. With a quick strike transition offense and a barrage of monster dunks, Gulf Coast overwhelmed both teams in dominating and entertaining fashion. Usually with upsets this big, it happens with a ton of threes and a favorite going cold, but both the Hoyas and the Aztecs were completely dominated for the duration of the games. Sherwood Brown, Chase Fieler, and Brett Comer stole the show, and earned millions of fans for the tiny school who had never played in the NCAA Tournament. Florida Gulf Coast ensured that they will forever be remembered as one of the greatest Cinderella stories.
