Also for the fourth time, the contest went down to the wire.  Unfortunately for FSW, it was Indian River squeaking out a 74-71 victory, ending the Bucs run at the tournament and putting them squarely on the bubble in their hopes for an at-large bid to the NJCAA National Tournament.

Bucs Stunned by Sharks

If a shark is flipped on its back, it goes into a state called tonic immobility, a trance like state in which the animal is nearly non-reactive to things around it.  Saturday afternoon in Miami, the normally frenetic paced Miami Dade Sharks pulled a tonic immobility trick of their own on the #15 Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers, slowing the pace of the game down considerably to stay with the high powered Bucs before stunning FSW in the final minutes 71-70 for their first ever win over the Bucs.
