The boys from #dunkcity are very good. This should be a very entertaining game and a good test for our first game in the ASUN

Historically yes. This year, we should go down to SW Florida and get a quick W.

I'm hoping to go to this game, and to bring the family. Anyone else going?

We just moved as a family from the Rocky Mountain West to the Tampa Bay Area this Summer per employment. Now, looking forward to lots of ASUN conference action opportunities here in the Sunshine State with almost half of the ASUN teams being in FL. Go Flames!

FGCU has scored a lot of points in their wins. If we play good defense, we should win.

If you are going to the game in Fort Myers, I have a recommendation for your pregame meal:

Skyline Chili at 5100 S Cleveland Ave in Fort Myers. It is hidden in a strip mall but the Cincy Chili is perfect for a pregame meal. I typically oder a 3-way with a cheese coney on the side (no oinions, please).

Skyline chili is always a good recommendation

I had a "brain cramp" yesterday. I thought this game was at "home". I invited some people to go and started making plans to get tickets. I looked at schedule to see game time, and saw it is in Florida.

If you used it more frequently it wouldn't cramp so easily.

Basketball is probably my 4th sport, after softball, football and baseball, thus I not focus on basketball as often as I do the other sports.

Looks like the game is streamed on ESPN+ which probably means MONEY. Do you all pay the $4.99 monthly fee for this?

Of course! Can watch as many games as you want for the month. It's great on the Smart TVs.

OK. Sell me. What is the advantage? Is it merely to get less desired games?

Every game for the rest of the season is on ESPN+. Time to pony up.
