Eight things you need to know about Florida Gulf Coast

Mike Foss | USATODAY

Florida Gulf Coast is an ensemble cast of high-flying dunk artists, chicken-dancing bench players, a super model with a penchant for taco bell, and the most interesting coach in the world.

Much has been made of this No. 15 seed -- the first ever to reach the Sweet 16 -- and when FGCU faces perennial NCAA power Florida, a team that couldn't be bothered to schedule a preseason scrimmage with the Eagles, many will be rooting for the underdog.

Here are eight things you need to know about the greatest Cinderella story in NCAA tournament history ...

8. Florida Gulf Coast is located in Dunk City, Fla.

It isn't just an adorable nickname. There is a method, a style, a swagger that comes from being Dunk City. There is also a mixtape.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;!--iframe--&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

7. Their bench players have excellent dance moves

We call it the chicken dance. FGCU players prefer ""It's cold as (expletive) outside dance,". Whatever name you prefer, it's entertaining to behold, and is a key piece of the Eagles' success.

6. FGCU fans are a little extreme ...

Between haircuts ...

and tattoos ...

... these are not your normal college hoops fans.

5. Andy Enfield is living a very good life

In college, he was the NCAA's all-time leading free-throw shooter at Johns Hopkins.

Professionally, he began his coaching career with the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics in the mid-'90s.

Enfield took a hiatus from coaching in the early 2000's to try his hand in the business world. Things went pretty well.

4. In which Andy Endfield's life continues to be amazing

Enfield married former supermodel, Amanda Marcum, and took her to Taco Bell on their first date. The couple has three children and none of us will look at Taco Bell the same way again.

3. FGCU is relaxed, because why not?

"We don't take ourselves too seriously here," Enfield told USA TODAY Sports. "There were times last week (during the NCAA Tournament in Philadelphia) when I sat back and didn't have to say too much. I said to myself, 'Wow — this is fun to watch.' I was entertained by my own team. Pretty cool."

2. Their best player is a Drake-quoting walk on

Leading scorer Sherwood Brown (15.3 ppg, 6.4 rpg) was a walk on to FGCU, and had no other recruiting options. Brown quoted rapper Drake's chart-topping hit "Started From the Bottom" after his team won the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament title against Mercer, saying: "Drake said it best. We started from the bottom. Now we're here." It wouldn't be surprising to find Brown has a few more places to go.

1. Watching Florida Gulf Coast have fun is fun

Like, a lot of fun.
