I guess all good things must come to an end. Last night Florida Gulf Coast University’s men’s basketball team lost to Florida 62-50. FGCU came out strong and had the lead for awhile, but in the end couldn’t hold on. This was the first time that a 15th seed ever advanced to the Sweet 16. Not too bad for a college that was only founded in 1991.
FGCU really surprised a lot of people. I’m sure they ticked off quite a few people out in Las Vegas too. As you can imagine, the further they advanced the more popular their merchandise became. T-shirts, hats, glasses, and floor mats have all been in big demand. While browsing through their bookstore, one item caught my eye. For only $4.95 you can have a FGCU logo lapel pin. I would like to see them make a pin that commemorates the team making it to the Sweet 16. They already are selling prints that commemorate this special event. Maybe next year.
