The#25 Rollins College Tars (5-0) put a perfect record on the line when they entertain the 22nd ranked Mocs of Florida Southern At Warden Arena. This will be a battle of a pair of ranked teams, the co-SSC champs two years ago, the preseason pick to win the conference (Rollins) and finish second Florida Southern,as well as traditional perennial powers. It will be the first meeting between the two schools since the Mocs eliminated the Tars in the first round of the NCAA tournament a year ago.
Rollins comes into the game fresh off a defensive clinic in a 60-36 thrashing of Tampa at the Bob Martinez Center. The defensive-minded Tars had 16 steals in the win over Tampa. Dave Diakite, Ian Scott, Brett Chance, and Jeremy Sharpe had three steals each in the victory. Chris Malcolm also was effective on the defensive end with four blocked shots. The Tars are led in scoring by Jeremy Sharpe (14.2 ppg), Myk Brown (13.0 ppg) and Dave Diakite (11.4 points a night).
The Mocs come into the contest with a 4-1 mark. The lone loss for Florida Southern was to South Florida. The Mocs also come in with three players averaging double figures on the season. Seth Evans leads the way at 16.8 ppg. This number includes a very impressive 26-27 (96.3 percent) at the foul line. Kevin Capers averages 13.8 a night, while Brett Bailey chips in 13.6 a contest.
