Alexandria Fernander led the Bucs in a solid effort against the 10^th-ranked Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast. Florida Gulf Coast entered the game averaging 87.9 points per game and outscoring their opposition by 48.4 points per game. The Buccaneers managed to hold the 10^th-ranked Eagles to 65 points; 22.9 points below their season average, and were only outscored by an eight-point margin. Fernander’s 14 rebounds helped the Bucs out-rebound the Eagles, the first time they lost the battle of the boards.

Ryan Saunders led the Bucs to a 15-point win at the always tough-to-play-at Florida Memorial. He tied for the lead in scoring and grabbed seven rebounds (good for second), but his primary contribution was nearly flawless play at the point. He had eight assists (on the 20 FG he did not score) and turned the ball over only once in 33 minutes of action. He also chipped in four steals. He is four assists away from the Barry career record held by Nelson Fonseca (480—1991-95).
