DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Marc-Eddy Norelia scored 20 points and Florida Gulf Coast coasted to a 96-65 win over an overmatched Fairleigh Dickinson team in a First Four game Tuesday night.Norelia opened the game with a dunk and the Eagles (21-13) never relinquished the lead, going on a 23-6 run in the first 10 minutes and opening a 40-19 lead at the half. Fairleigh Dickinson got some looks but couldn’t get much to fall, shooting just 33 percent from the field while playing thoroughly lackluster defense throughout.Florida Gulf Coast wasn’t the “Dunk City” gang that made the terrific tournament run to the Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed three years ago, instead outmuscling its opponent’s big men inside and spreading the ball around.
