The Sharks are taking a road trip to square off against the Golden Eagles at 7:00 p.m. Naples took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Gulf Coast, who comes in off a win.

If Gulf Coast beats Naples with 57 points on Thursday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two games with that exact score. The Sharks put the hurt on Golden Gate with a sharp 57-34 victory on Tuesday. The Sharks have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won four contests by 23 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, Naples entered their matchup against Lely on Friday without any home losses, but there's a first time for everything. The Golden Eagles took a hard 54-40 fall against the Trojans.

The win made it two in a row for Gulf Coast and bumps their season record up to 4-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.0 points over those games. As for Naples, their loss dropped their record down to 5-5.

Gulf Coast strolled past Naples in their previous meeting back in February by a score of 50-33. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sharks since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
