Missouri State, led by second-year head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton, lost its leading scorer from last year due to graduation, but returns 10 players and four starters from last year's team that went 26-4 overall and 16-2 in the Missouri Valley Conference. They ended last season ranked 19th in the USA Today Coaches Poll and 23rd in the AP Poll. Senior guard Brice Calip and junior forward Jasmine Franklin are preseason All-MVC selections, while 6-3 Auburn transfer Abi Jackson has received immediate eligibility from the NCAA.
 
Arkansas, meanwhile, went 24-8 overall and 10-6 in SEC play last year. They return three of their top four scorers from last year and were the landing spot for Oregon State graduate transfer Destiny Slocum, who averaged 15.2 points and 4.6 assists last year. With her, they feature one of, if not the best, guard trios in the country along with Chelsea Dungee (16.9 PPG) and Amber Ramirez (.447 3-point percentage). They also added top-50 recruit Elauna Eaton and feature WNBA star Kelsey Plum as an assistant coach.
 
Davidson went 16-15 overall, including an 8-8 record in A-10 play, last year, but return nine upperclassmen, including six seniors. Several conference coaches believe the Wildcats can contend for the A-10 title this year. They boast one of the top point guards in the A-10 in senior Katie Turner, who became a 1,000-point career scorer last year while leading the team with 127 assists and 66 treys, as well as Suzi-Rose Deegan, a sophomore guard who averaged 15.9 points and 7.7 rebounds en route to A-10 Rookie of the Year recognition.
 
UNIQUE ROSTER
FGCU, which got a game-high 18 points from Maddie Antenucci in her collegiate debut on Wednesday as the Eagles opened the season with an 86-40 win over Florida Memorial at home, enters this year with the most unique team makeup in program history. The Green and Blue lost their top seven scorers from last year's team due to graduation, a number that has never happened previously in program history, and even played without their top returning scorer - Tyra Cox - in the season opener. Overall, their five returners accounted for just 9.1 percent of the team's scoring last year, which means they lost over 90 percent of last year's production.
 
Replacing that production will come from a variety of sources - high-profile transfers, talented freshmen and increased minutes/production from returners.
 
In the offseason, the Green and Blue added one of the best transfer classes in program history - Andrea Cecil (BGSU), Aaliyah Stanley (Eastern Michigan), Kierstan Bell (Ohio State) and Tishara Morehouse (Western Nebraska C.C.). Cecil is a graduate transfer who averaged 15.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per contest in her final season at BGSU en route to Third Team All-MAC recognition, while Stanley is a true sophomore who averaged 12.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and over one assist and steal per game for Eastern Michigan as a rookie last year. She received an immediate eligibility waiver from the NCAA to play this year. Morehouse, meanwhile, averaged 21 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists for her JUCO last year en route to NJCAA First Team All-American recognition.
 
The team's wild card is Bell, who is still awaiting an official decision from the NCAA on a transfer waiver. The highest rated recruit in program history averaged 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and nearly one block per game as a freshman at Ohio State last year. She was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten and made the conference's all-freshmen team after securing three freshman of the week awards during the season. Should Bell become eligible, it would give FGCU three proven NCAA Division I starters who have averaged double-digit scoring per game.
 
In terms of newcomers, the Eagles also added a trio of talented freshmen - Antenucci (Cincinnati, Ohio), Seneca Hackley (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Tomia Johnson (Aurora, Colo.). On Wednesday, Antenucci became just the fourth true freshmen in the Division I era to start the season opener for the Eagles, joining Ty Adderly (2016), Katie Meador (2012) and Courtney Chihil (2008).
 
Kierra Adams, who redshirted as a true freshman last year, will see the court for the first time this year along with five other returners - Cox, Alyssa Blair, Tanner Bryant, Emma List and Sheahen Dowling. While Cox didn't play, all four of the returners scored in double-figures in the season-opener.

PROFESSIONAL STANDARD
A large reason for the lack of returning experience on this year's team is that last year's squad has five players currently playing professionally overseas - Keri Jewett-Giles (Wetterbygden/Sweden), Nasrin Ulel (Uniao Sportiva/Portugal), Tytionia Adderly (Fribourg/Switzerland), Anja Marinkovic (Kraljevo/Serbia) and Davion Wingate (Kraljevo/Serbia). Three others from previous years who are also playing include: Rosemarie Julien (RC Celta/Spain), Anthi Chatzigiakoumi (AEO Proteas Voulas/Greece) and Lisa Zderadicka (BK Duchess/Austria).
 
EAGLES AGAINST RANKED TEAMS
FGCU is 4-14 all-time against ranked teams, but they are 4-4 over the past eight such outings, which includes wins over No. 21 DePaul, No. 23 Kentucky, No. 15 Missouri and No. 20 USF. The matchup against No. 14 Arkansas on Saturday will be the seventh-highest ranked opponent the Green and Blue has ever faced.

LEGENDARY LEADER
On pace to reach 600 career wins faster than legendary coaches such as Pat Summitt and Tara VanDerveer, FGCU head coach Karl Smesko has compiled a 555-122 record (.820) in his career, which ranks him as the third-winningest active Division I head coach behind Geno Auriemma (1,091-142, .885) and Kim Mulkey (604-101, .857). Furthermore, he passed VanDerveer (1,094-253, .812) in 2017-18 to become the fifth-winningest Division I head coach of all-time – behind Auriemma, Leon Barmore (576-87, .869), Mulkey and Summit (1,098-208, .841). If that isn't enough, he is the 10th-winningest active head coach across all divisions, as well as the 12th-winningest such coach all-time.
 
FGCU APPROACHING 500 ALL-TIME WINS
The Eagles enter this weekend's Beach Bubble with a 494-95 (.839) record, just six victories away from the 500-win milestone as a program.
 
100th win - Nov. 18, 2006 vs Puerto Rico Rio Piedras (106-36)
200th win - Feb. 11, 2010 vs Jacksonville (63-55)
300th win - Jan. 23, 2014 vs Jacksonville (56-49)
400th win - Feb. 18, 2017 vs USC Upstate (80-50)

BEST IN NCAA HISTORY?
Head coach Karl Smesko has FGCU on pace to shatter the NCAA's all-time Division I winning percentage record by the end of the 2020-21 season as his team is one of only two in the nation along with Tennessee (.801) with at least an .800 all-time winning percentage. In fact, FGCU is 494-95 (.839) since the program's inception in 2002-03, which is easily the best winning percentage in the nation and also ahead of third-place UConn (.795), but the NCAA requires at least 10 years as a Division I program, and FGCU's four reclassification years (2007-11) do not count towards the 10-year minimum. Thus, Smesko and the Green and Blue are well on their way to becoming the NCAA's all-time winning percentage leader by the end of this season.
 
AMONG THE NATION'S BEST
Over the past six seasons, FGCU produced 179 wins, which is the most among all mid-majors and seventh-most among any Division I program – behind UConn (212), Baylor (200), Mississippi State (186), Notre Dame (185), South Carolina (184) and Maryland (180). In fact, it puts them ahead of schools such as Louisville (178), Stanford (167), Oregon State (165) and Oregon (157). On top of that, the program is one of only five in the nation at the Division I level with four 30-win seasons during that stretch – joining UConn, Baylor, Notre Dame and South Carolina.
 
SUSTAINED SUCCESS
The Eagles have registered a level of sustained success matched by only three other Division I schools as Coach Smesko has guided the Eagles to 10 straight 25-win seasons - an accomplishment only achieved by UConn and Baylor. FGCU has also recorded 16-straight 20-win seasons dating back to 2004-05.
 
RAINING THREES LEGACY
At FGCU, Smesko has turned FGCU into one of the premier 3-point shooting teams in the nation as his teams have made a combined 5,415-for-15,655 (.346) from long range over his 18 years. In fact, the team has made at least one 3-point field goal in 476 straight games and went without at least one made in only one game in program history – Feb. 21, 2006 vs Lynn University (0-for-11). In 2019-20, the Eagles led the nation in 3-point field goals made (397), 3-point field goals attempted (1,155) and 3-point field goals per game (12.0). In 2017-18, the Green and Blue made an NCAA Division I single season record 431 3-pointers, which remains a record entering this season.

Here is a look at how the Eagles have done each year from the 3-point line.

FGCU has also made at least 10 or more 3-point field goals in a single game 281 times, including a single-season record 25 times in 2017-18. They have at least 15 games with at least 10 or more in each of the past 12 seasons.

On top of that, the 2017-18 team produced three of the program's seven games all-time with at least 20 or more, and the Eagles have added four games with 19 over the past two seasons. The program's single-game record of 22 was initially set on Jan. 12, 2013 in a 97-60 win over ETSU (22-for-43) on the road, and the 2017-18 team tied the mark at Abilene Christian (22-for-45) on Dec. 3 and at home against Lipscomb (22-for-44) on March 7. The latter represents the program's postseason mark, and they own three of the top seven single-game totals in NCAA Division I history entering the 2020-21 season. In fact, there has been only 30 times since 1988 that an NCAA Division I team had made at least 20 3-point field goals in a game, and FGCU owns seven of those, or 23.3 percent.
 
In 2019-20, FGCU became the first team in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to record five straight seasons with at least 1,000 3-point field goal attempts. Sacramento State achieved the yearly benchmark over four straight seasons from 2013-17, and DePaul will also carry a three-year streak into this year. The 2013-14 FGCU squad joined Sacramento State as the first two teams to attempt 1,000 in a season.

Prior to breaking the single-season record for made 3-point field goals in 2017-18, FGCU claimed a then single-season NCAA record 342 in 2011-12, which was the first year they were eligible for NCAA statistical championships. Had they been eligible in 2010-11, they also would have led the nation with 350 – 26 more than the second-place team. The 2009-10 team would have finished second. In fact, over the past nine years, the Green and Blue have finished among the nation's top five in made 3-point field goals every year, including three first-place finishes.

In addition to the aforementioned record, the 2011-12 team also set a then NCAA single season record for most 3-point field goals made per game at 10.7, and they followed it up in 2012-13 by making 9.4 per game, which was the most in the nation. In 2017-18, FGCU joined DePaul as the first two teams to eclipse 400 made 3-point field goals in a season in NCAA Division I history, and they remain the only two entering this year after last year's Green and Blue squad fell just three shy in a CoVID-19 shortened season. In fact, the Eagles stood out in the NCAA's deepest 3-point shooting year as eight teams averaged 10 or more made per game in 2017-18, which was equal to the total from the previous two seasons combined and the same as 2009-15 combined. Six teams reached the milestone in 2018-19 and four more followed last year. Among the 13 teams to average at least 10 or more made per game over a single season, FGCU is one of just three to do it at least four times – joining Sacramento State and Idaho.

Here's a year-by-year look at where FGCU finished nationally in 3-point field goals per game.

CECIL APPROACHES 1,000
Andrea Cecil, who had 13 points in the season-opening win over Florida Memorial, pushed her NCAA scoring total to 904 in her 91st career game. She is in her first season with the Eagles after coming to Fort Myers as a graduate transfer from Bowling Green State University. She is looking to become the ninth transfer to join the Eagles and then score her 1,000th point.

SUSTAINING FLIGHT 
To help offset the financial impact of COVID-19, FGCU Athletics has launched the Sustaining Flight Fundraiser and Auction. The fundraising campaign will help mitigate operational revenue loss and the additional expenses incurred as a result of COVID-19 protocols. All funds raised during the campaign will go to support areas that directly impact student-athletes.
