The Gaiters came out slow on Saturday night, facing the team they beat on the road by 22 on Thursday night. McGill came out of the gates shooting the ball, and doing it well. The Gaiters faced a 22-14 deficit heading into the second quarter with some work to do. Bishop's hunkered down on defense in the second and took a 36-35 lead into the break. Good play on both ends of the floor for the Gaiters in the third quarter opened the game up, where they were able to take a 55-43 lead into the last frame. The home team coasted to a 76-63 victory, getting their 10th win of the season.
