  The loss dropped the Fighting Knights to 13-12 overall (6-7 SSC). Lynn shot 35 percent from the floor and hit just 5 of 26 from the 3-point line. They shot 72 percent (13-18) at the foul line. The Fighting Knights crushed Rollins on the glass 44-25. They had 13 assists and 12 turnovers.
  Rollins was the team that jumped out to the early lead Wednesday. After scoring just 28 points combined in the last two opening halves the Tars took a 16-5 lead nine minutes into this one. Lynn would battle back and get to within three (21-18) with 5:45 in the half. The Tars would close the half with a spurt and lead 35-22 on a Jeremy Sharpe 3-pointer at the buzzer.
  The second half would be hard fought and the Fighting Knights would give Rollins all they could handle. After Lynn got within four, a Jeremy Sharpe dunk would give the Tars a 50-44 lead. The Knights would fight back once again and would have a brief lead (57-56) with 1:36 to go. Malcolm would hit a pair of free throws to give Rollins the lead back. After a defensive stand where Diakite and Malcolm would each block a shot Jeremy Sharpe hit a pair of free throws with seven seconds left. The Tars would then foul DeMarco Fountain who hit one of the two free throws. Diakite would rebound the miss and hit one free throw to get the Tars the big win they desperately needed.
