Terrence Drisdom led the Green and Gold with 18 points in the contest, Daniel Rodriguez sank three from beyond the arc en route to his 13 points, and Barry Bell sank 5-of-8 baskets to add 11 points for the Broncos.

Drisdom was a spotless 8-for-8 from the free throw line and secured three steals and a block. Bell, Faison, Chad Haysbert, and Jordan Finn also registered a steal on the night.

The Broncos outrebounded the home team 34-25. Neither team committed many turnovers, with only a one turnover difference in the game. CPP also posted 12 second chance points in the game, which bested the Gators by seven.
