Not talking about the past. This year it will take more than luck, it will take a miracle of almost biblical proportions.
That really is not consistent with what has happened on the court this year. We are 18-11 overall and 11-5 in conference, have won 6 in a row, and 4 of the 5 ASUN losses were to the 1 and 2 seeds by single digit margins. This is with 2 FR in the starting lineup and only one SR seeing significant PT. Our current win streak seems to correspond with our going to a 4 guard starting lineup, which has reduced our turnovers and enabled us to match up better. Is FGCU still going to be highly favored to win the tournament? No doubt about it, and rightly so, but with N Alabama having proven that the Eagles are not invincible, I would not consider it a "miracle"for us to win it.
Looking ahead, FGCU is graduating 5 Seniors, 4 of them starters. I think there is a good chance the conference will be a lot more competitive next year.
