What to Know

Stetson and FGCU are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2019, but not for long. Both teams will face off in an Atlantic Sun battle at 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Alico Arena. Coming off a loss in a game Stetson was expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

Meanwhile, FGCU's recent rough patch got a bit rougher last Friday after their third straight loss. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 78-75 to the Owls, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior.

The Hatters' defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 11-8. As for the Eagles, they bumped their record down to 7-12 with that defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road.

Stetson didn't have too much breathing room in their game against FGCU in their previous meeting back in February of 2023, but they still walked away with a 88-84 victory. Will Stetson repeat their success, or does FGCU have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
