Senior forward Kyle Marks may have only had 4 points in Monday's loss to Mercer, but two of them got national attention.
FGCU and Marks were featured on ESPN Sport Center's Top 10 plays on Tuesday.
The play, which earned the 10th best play of Monday, started early in the first half with a fast break by FGCU led by Marks running down the sideline looking for a pass. Sophomore point guard Reggie Chambers maneuvered the ball down the court before stopping just after the three-point line.
Chambers heaved up an alley-oop lob pass to Marks, who was uncontested and ready on the right baseline for the easy jump, catch and two-handed slam home to put the Eagles up 8-5.
ESPN's Top 10 plays are an accumulation of the 10 best sports plays from across the globe that are featured at the end of SportsCenter's broadcast.
The segment also stretches to a "Not Top 10," which runs weekly and consists of the 10 worst plays, and a Top 10 Plays of the Week.
The Eagles would go on to lose 78-72 on the road in Mercer's University Center arena, and have seven games left, five of which are at home.
Anthony Banks led the Eagles with a strong 23-point, 10-rebound double-double, while Chambers added 12 points and four assists in 30 minutes of action.
Four players were in double figures for the Bears, including E.J. Kusnyer, who scored 22 points on 7-15 shooting (6-14 on 3-pointer) and Daniel Emerson, who tallied 19 points and 15 rebounds.
With the loss, FGCU fell to 7-15 overall (4-9 A-Sun).
