Bucs Comeback Bid Comes Up Just Short Against Miami Dade

The Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers took care of what they thought was going to be the hard part of their final week of Southern Conference play on Wednesday, defeating #18 Indian River to take over first place in the conference standings, but little did they know, Saturday's matchup against Miami Dade, who had won just one conference game all season going into the afternoon, would be the ones to dash their hopes as the Sharks raced out to a 25 point second half lead before holding off a late comeback by FSW for a 67-65 win. After 40 grueling minutes against the Sharks Saturday, the Bucs now turn to Miami Dade fans as their Conference Championship hopes lie in the Sharks' fins.  A Miami Dade win over Indian River Monday gives the Bucs the Southern crown while a Pioneer victory would send the title to Fort Pierce.

Bucs Begin Ellis Era With a Win

It was a slow start for the #14 Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers Wednesday night in their 2021 season opener against Hillsborough, but that should have been expected as the Bucs took the court for the first time in 316 days after the cancellation of their 2020 postseason and the two month postponement of their current campaign.  The Bucs shook off the slow start though, picking things up in the second half to come away with a 70-52 win over the Hawks, giving new Head Coach Dr. Jerald Ellis win number one on the end of the FSW bench.
