Greenville, S.C. – Furman concludes its four-game road trip on Wednesday night when it travels to Fort Myers, Fla., for a Southern Conference-ASUN battle against the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at Alico Arena.

The Furman-FGCU match-up is a part of a two-year scheduling alliance, which was announced this summer, and will see each SoCon team play a pair of games against ASUN opposition. The alliance was created to help each league's schools play meaningful games against a similar conference within its regional footprint. The Paladins defeated Jacksonville at the Well last month in its first game as a part of the alliance.
 
Furman enters Wednesday's contest at 7-1 on the season after absorbing it first defeat of the season, an 86-51 decision, at top-ranked Kansas Saturday night inside Allen Fieldhouse. Redshirt-freshman Eddrin Bronson paced the Paladins with a career-high 14 points while forward Garrett Hien added 12 points and seven rebounds. Leading 39-31 early in the second half, the Jayhawks connected on 10 consecutive shots to pull away.
 
The Paladins are ranked No. 12 in this week's College Insider Mid-Major Top 25 Poll and debuted at No. 77, the best of any SoCon school, in the initial NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) Rankings, which was released by the NCAA on Monday. 
 
FGCU is 3-5 on the season after scoring back-to-back victories over instate rivals FIU and FAU. The Eagles hold a 2-0 lead in the all-time series versus Furman and captured an 83-78 decision in the most recent meeting on December 19, 2014, at Alico Arena.
