Forward Greg Kahlig: The junior shot 7-of-10 from the field en route to his 23-point performance. He also grabbed six rebounds and shot 8-of-10 from the free-throw line as he led UF in scoring for the second consecutive game.

Forward Mark Frilling: Frilling scored only 5 points but he played a key role defensively for the Oilers. The junior grabbed five rebounds and blocked two shots. He altered a few other shots as well to help spark UF on defense.
