PANAMA CITY, Fla.- The #25 Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers earned their fifth straight win Saturday night in Panama City, knocking off the Gulf Coast State Commodores 68-61 behind 14 points from Bryant Selebangue and 12 each from Kaiyem Cleary and Jordan Mitchell.
The first half was a low scoring, back and forth battle between the Bucs and the Commodores with FSW taking a one point, 33-32 lead after 20 minutes of action.
The pace picked up some in the second as the Bucs went inside to Bryant Selebangue for some easy buckets and Kaiyem Cleary began to heat up from distance to allow FSW to extend their lead and finally finish off Gulf Coast 68-61.
Selebangue finished with a team high 14 points while Cleary and Jordan Mitchell added 12. Aahmod Scarbrough hit three threes to finish with nine off the bench for the Bucs.
FSW wins their fifth straight to improve to 10-2 on the season while Gulf Coast drops their second straight to fall to 9-4 on the year.
The Bucs will take the court one more time before the break when they travel to Winter Haven Wednesday to take on old Suncoast Conference rival Polk State in a non-conference battle.
