Ten Things Tars 2013-14.

The Rollins Tars had a up and down 2013-14 basketball season. Here's a breakdown of the good and the bad.
The good:
1. The Tars rally for a 82-76 overtime win over then second ranked Florida Southern on January 29th. It was dubbed by Nate Weyant (Sports Information director) as an instant classic. Mitch Woods had a monster day and almost single handedly willed the Tars to the win.
2. Mitch Woods is named All Sunshine State Conference First Team. Woods led the Tars averaging 15.4 points a game on the year. This included 35 and 26 points in the two meeting with Florida Southern. Woods was joined on the All Conference Team by Yanio Barruetta (Barry,) Kevin Capers (Florida Southern,) Jerrel Harris (Saint Leo,) and Jermaine Jackson of Florida Tech. Capers was the Conference Player of the Year, while Corbin Jackson (Florida Tech) was Defensive Player Of The Year. Barrueta was the Newcomer Of The Year. Adrian Gonzalez (Barry) was the freshman of the year. Linc Darner of Florida Southern won Coach Of The Year.
3. The Tars sweep defending Conference Champion Saint Leo. The Lions are one of four SSC teams to make the NCAA Tournament South Regional. SSC regular season and tournament champion Florida Southern will be the top seed. The Mocs will host Tuskegee on 3/15 in Lakeland. #5 Tampa will face #4 North Alabama. #3 Delta State will take on #6 Barry. #2 Seed Saint Leo will face #7 West Alabama.
4. The Tars win four straight league games before falling to Florida Southern late in the season finale.
5. Alex Blessig averages double figures in his first season with the Tars after leaving Florida Gulf Coast.

The bad:
1. The Tars hit rock bottom when they lose 70-67 to Lynn on January 15th. This is the Fighting Knights only win in the first half of the SSC schedule.
2. Rollins gets off to a rocky 1-4 start. It is the worst start for the Tars in 10+years.
3.Lukas Winegarner goes down to a broken foot. A devastating injury to the Tars front court, and one of it's three seniors.
4. The Tars fall to Warner for the second straight year at Warden Arena.
5. The season comes to a close in large part due to poor foul shooting and 3-point shooting against Nova Southeastern. The Tars lose in overtime. As coach Klusman said:
"Not shooting 50 percent at the foul line and poor 3-point shooting were bugaboos they had all season."
