Late Wednesday, video of East Tennessee State’s open practice prior to the 2017 NCAA Tournament hit the Internet. “Florida, beware!” wrote SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, a friend of Alligator Army. “Florida Gulf Coast isn’t the only Dunk City in Orlando,” wrote Sporting News writer Ryan Fagan, who took the initial video.

Never mind that Florida met Florida Gulf Coast during its original Dunk City run in 2013, and clipped the Eagles’ wings so definitively that Casey Prather had the best dunk in the game, or that Florida has cruelly ended Cinderella runs time and again.
