The 2013 NCAA tournament has been certainly one of unexpectedly crazy ratios. Probably no story has been more charming than that of No. 15 Texas Gulf Coast. Approximately 48 hours removed from their upset of No. 2 Georgetown, Florida Gulf Coast has defeated No. 7 Hillcrest State, 81-71. As the Eagles can make their first trip to the Sweet 16 in school history, a result. They are also the first No. 15 seed ever sold to attain the Sweet 16. ABelieve it or not, this comes throughout their first-ever NCAA event appearance. Bernard Thompson had 23 points to lead five Eagles who reached double figures. ABrett Comer also set up an unbelievable double-double with 10 points and 14 helps while Sherwood Brown had 17 points on 6-of-8 firing. Jamaal Franklin had 20 points for SDSU, who endured through 17 turnovers and were out-shot 56 percent to 44. The Eagles come in flight. Not only is this an enormous gain for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, but for NCAA history. Observe that the Eagles will be the only team to stake claim to a great statistic, for why. ESPN Stats & Info, take it away. Want even more history? Twitter provided us with the data necessary. Twitter Effect For the first time in NCAA competition history, a No. 15 seed will be showing in the Sweet 16. Texas Gulf Coast is technically the mold that was broken by the squad. It is a group you will be telling your grandchildren about. For all those friends who tell you that they saw this coming, do not feel them. While a regular season victory was secured by Florida Gulf Coast over ACC winner Miami, few gave them a fair chance of developing. Just ask chances specialist Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight. Leading this group has been none other than 43-year-old mind instructor Andy Enfield. The Eagles are becoming a deal with this baseball head. Darren Rovell of ESPN provides information. For perspective, Kansas Jayhawks head mentor Bill Self signed a $52 million contract more than 10 years in September of 2012. Together may possibly assume, the Twittersphere erupted with a mixture of love and praise for Florida Gulf Coast. Perhaps no period of the game motivated the maximum amount of fascination with their swarming move crime. It is put by ryan Ruocco of ESPN New York best. That is the reality. Usually the negative voice of Twitter, Frank Isola of the New York Daily News presented an alternative take. Instead of praise and love, a quick jab was taken by him at the Miami media. You know,AsomethingAcompletely appropriate. For what it's worth, I think "The Ultimate Cinderella" is a excellent nickname. Luckily, Isola wasn't the only speech on Twitter. In reality, there clearly was an overwhelming amount of personalities proclaiming their new found love for the Eagles. Rely former national player of the season Jay Williams in on the bandwagon. He is not by yourself. Florida Gulf Coast will now enjoy their in-state competitor Florida Gators in the Sweet 16. More history will be made even by the Eagles by creating an in the Elite Eight, when they gain. Regardless of what happens, Florida Gulf Coast is becoming America's team.
