Tars Look To Secure Home Court Saturday.

The Rollins College Tars will look to secure home court advantage in the first round of the Sunshine State Conference Tournament when they travel to the Don Taft University Center to take on the Sharks of Nova Southeastern Saturday.
 The Tars have won just twice in the last six contests but will do no worse than the fourth seed in next week's conference tournament with a win. The Tars (16-9 9-6 SSC) are coming off a 57-47 win over Barry in Miami Shores Wednesday, Brett Chance had a career high 18 points starting in the place of Jeremy Sharpe. Ian Scott had a career high 10 rebounds in the win. Myk Brown also had a solid game netting 16. The Tars can secure the third seed with a win and a loss by Saint Leo at Barry. Florida Tech can secure the regular season title with a win over Tampa. Eckerd sits in the second spot and can secure the league title with a win and a FIT loss. The Tars are led by 12.3 points a game for Myk Brown, Chris Malcolm posts 12.3 points a game. Ian Scott is the only Tar to play and start all 25 games this season. The Tars are sixth offensively putting up 67 points a game. On the defensive end the visitors from Winter Park allow 66.8 a contest.
  The Sharks come in with a 6-8 record in the league and 12-13 overall. The Sharks could finish as high as a sixth seed and as low as eighth in the conference tournament which begins Wednesday.  NSU has three players scoring in double figures on the season. Robb Huntington (11.3 ppg), Teddy Tassy (11 a game) and Iran Hollis (10 a game) post double numbers. The Sharks are coming off a two point win on Wednesday at Lynn. Nova is shooting a league best 47 percent from the field and 72 percent at the foul line. NSU scores 69 a game while giving up 66.7.
