Florida Gulf Coast University Athletics  issued the following announcement on Sept. 29.

Additional non-conference games announced with Eagles opening season against Florida National on Tuesday, November 9

 The Dunk City Reunion game between the FGCU men's basketball team and Andy Enfield's Southern California team will be televised on ESPNU as announced by ESPN on Tuesday. To facilitate the national broadcast, the tipoff for the Nov. 16 match-up will be adjusted to 6 PM (originally announced as 7 PM).

 

The game will come a day after FGCU officially inducts Coach Enfield and the 2013 men's basketball team into the FGCU Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the first-ever class. Reservations for the Monday night ceremony on Nov. 15 are currently open and fans can register HERE.

 

The 2013 Dunk City team captured the nation's attention and put FGCU in the spotlight as the first-ever No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16 following wins over Georgetown and San Diego State.

 

Currently, only season ticket holders, mini-plan purchasers, and group ticket purchasers (groups of 10-or-more) will have the ability to attend the game against USC. For more information, visit www.FGCUTickets.com or call the Alico Arena Ticket Office at 866-FGCU-TIX.

The Eagles will officially begin the campaign on Tuesday, November 9 against Florida National in Alico Arena. Tip-off is slated for 7:30 PM as part of a doubleheader with the women's team.

 

FGCU has also added dates against Eckerd on Sunday, Nov. 21 (6 PM) and Mercer on Sunday, Dec. 19 (2 PM).
