For FGCU, the focus remains on steady improvement as conference play progresses. The Eagles will look to continue getting better game by game, emphasize transition defense, contain dribble penetration, and apply pressure at the rim through rim runners and downhill drives. Executing the details on both ends will be key as FGCU looks to keep its momentum rolling on the road.
