Florida Gulf Coast isn't the only Dunk City in Orlando, apparently. Seems @ETSUAthletics has big-time dunkers, too pic.twitter.com/wg4vhWWVRX

East Tennessee State won the Southern Conference this year and enters the NCAA tournament as a No. 13 seed. On Thursday, the Buccaneers face No. 4 Florida in the program’s first trip to the Big Dance since 2010. They’re preparing for it in the best way possible: by throwing down nasty dunks in practice.
ETSU is pretty awesome. It beat Mississippi State earlier this season and almost beat Tennessee. In his second season, coach Steve Forbes has already turned around the program. All of America is about to get a look on Thursday.
If you don’t know much about East Tennessee State, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time to get on the bandwagon. Selling point No. 1: these dunks.
