In this edition of Coach’s Corner, let’s take a look at what Florida Gulf Coast brings to Indiana’s home opener.

Offensively, FGCU ran a lot of spread ball screen action early last year. With a likely three-guard lineup, look for the Eagles to do that this season as well.

Ball screen coverage and defensive rotations will be very important in this first game.

Defensively, FGCU will be undersized up front. Indiana will need to limit turnovers against an aggressive man defense led by former Penn State head coach Pat Chambers. Hitting the offensive glass could also be an advantage for the Hoosiers.

This is a game Indiana should win, but it will be a battle. FGCU has its top eight offensive players returning this season.

For my official Coach Tonsoni prediction and this week’s Coach’s Corner video, read on.
