FORT MYERS, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast will have to manage a quick turnaround as the Eagles host Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on Sunday at Noon.

FGCU (1-3) looks to rebound from Friday's high-scoring battle against FIU, hosting the Stallions (2-5) in the program's annual Walk to End Alzheimer's Game at Alico Arena. The turnaround of less than 48 hours between games will mimic Atlantic Sun Conference scheduling, which begins in earnest in January.

But for as quick as the turnaround is for FGCU, it's even quicker for ABAC. The Stallions are coming off back-to-back league games in Southern States Athletic Conference action, dropping both contests with an 83-88 loss at Andrew College on Thursday and a 79-69 defeat at Thomas (Ga.) University on Saturday. This is part of a five-game road swing for Abraham Baldwin as the Stallions depart Fort Myers for New Orleans for SSAC games at Xavier (La.) and at Loyola New Orleans over the next week.

It's not unlike FGCU's upcoming appearance at the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Nov. 23 and 25 before heading to the Crescent City for a Nov. 29 battle with LSU New Orleans.

The Eagles enter Sunday's game looking to improve upon their defense after allowing 89 points on Friday. Meanwhile, ABAC arrives at The Nest with three players – Bryce Wimberly (13.8), Landen Williams (13.0) and Landon Chattam (11.6) – averaging double digits in scoring through seven games this season.

Florida Gulf Coast's offense is hitting on all cylinders as the Eagles are shooting 46.7% from the field, 36% from long-range and 82.4% from the charity stripe. The Green & Blue are averaging 84.0 points per game, an average that's the second-highest in program history, as they prepare to host an ABAC team that has not scored more than 83 points in a game this year.

Sunday's contest marks the conclusion of a two-match homestand and fans' last chance to see the Eagles at Alico Arena until mid-December. Following Wednesday's game at Florida Atlantic, FGCU will play at Suncoast Credit Union Arena at FSW on Nov. 23 (vs. Charlotte) and Nov. 25 (vs. Georgia State) in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. Tickets for the Fort Myers Tip-Off are available for sale now.
