Tars Complete Vegas Sweep.

The Rollins Tars (7-1) completed a sweep of a pair of a games in the inaugural Rollins Las Vegas Classic with a 88-76 win over Cameron University. The win was the Tars seventh straight and gave coach Tom Klusman 597 wins in his fine coaching career.
  Kyle McClanahan capped off a superb trip to Vegas with 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.    McClanahan was 6 of 9 from the field and 4 of 4 at the foul line and from the 3-point line. Dave Diakite had another solid game scoring 18 points. Jeff Dirkin scored 11 points and Scott Schuette 10 off the Tars bench. The Tars shot 46 percent as a team and hit 12-32 from the 3-point line. Rollins shot 78.8 percent (26-33) at the foul line. The Tars won the rebounding battle 39-32 and had 19 assists to go along with 13 turnovers.
  The Aggies (5-5) split a pair of games in Vegas. Cameron fell to the Tars today after knocking off Florida Tech yesterday. FIT dropped two games while Abeline Christian split a pair of games.
  Three players from Cameron scored in double figures on the afternoon. Craig Foster paced the Aggies with 26 points, while Johnathan Patino and Rudy Harrell netted 12 points each.    The Aggies shot 43 percent for the game and hit 38 percent (11-29) from the 3-point line. The Aggies shot 73 percent at the foul line (11-15.)  Cameron had 17 assists and turned it over 15 times.
    The Tars were red hot to start the game and raced out to a 21-7 lead after a McClanahan 3-ball. The Tars were solid the entire first half and would stretch the lead to 21 (45-24) at the half. The biggest disparity in the first half was shooting the basketball. The Aggies shot 31 percent (9-29) and only 25 percent (3-12) from the 3-point line.  The Tars on the other hand shot 45 percent (14-31) from the field and 43 percent (9-21) from the 3-point line.
  The Tars would stretch the lead to 28 points (61-33) with 13:08 to go. The Aggies would chip away and cut the lead down to seven with 19 seconds to go but it would be too little too late.
  The Tars will take a 12 day break for the holidays and return to action December 29th when they host the Winter Park Rotary Tangerine Tournament. The Tars will battle Mansfield on the 29th while Flagler and Shaw will be the other participants.
