With the game coming on tonight, it got me thinking about some of the more exciting and entertaining teams in the tournament and I can't really find another team more exciting to watch than them. They have the athleticism to run with the big boys to go along with the Cinderella aspect.

You have Phi Slamma Jamma back in the day with Akeem, Drexler, Benny Anders, etc. The Loyola Marymount team with Gathers and Bo Kimble were fast paced. Those early 1990s UNLV squads with Stacy Augmon and Grandmama were entertaining. The Fab Five was fun to watch as well, even though a lot hated them for their brash style they had. Even Big Nasty and 40 Minutes of Hell was entertaining to watch.

But with that 15 seed, I think it makes FGCU stand out from those others. Do any of those other teams I mentioned rank higher for you or are there other teams I forgot about? And yes, I am bored at work and just looking for some discussion

Definitely the most exciting team since 2000, when I started following CBB. They've been playing with the looseness of a 1 seed the past two games and their squad seems like a funny group of dudes.

I love me some FGC but a lot of their legacy depends on what they do tonight.

I would add the 97 Arizona Wildcats to that list of fun teams to watch. Miles Simon and Mike Bibby wrecked shite

Not even close. The old UNLV teams and Fab 5 were way more exciting. Even Butler a few years ago was more exciting. FGCU is pretty dope though.....Dunk City Bitch!!!!!

Seeing Darryl Strawberry at all of the games made it even more exciting!

This morning he went off about the Witchita St game being the lowest rated. Then he went on to talk about how the numbers for the Indiana game were amazing because people had to stay up late to watch it. I guess he didn't know that Witchita had the last game of the night.

You have the correct answer sir. That's also one of my favorite 30 for 30's as well.

I don't know man....in 2010 the Murray St, Syracuse, Michigan State and especially the Duke games were all insane and they came about 1 inch away from winning it all.

That doesn't mean they are entertaining.
