Tars Edged in Final Seconds by Lynn.

The Rollins Tars (7-13 0-9 SSC) had a chance once again to get what would have been their first conference win of the season. This time having the ball with a chance to win it in a tie game.  A turnover on the final trip led to a Russell Wilson run out for a layup and winning basket with 1.8 seconds to go as Lynn (14-4 7-2 SSC) would go on to the 65-63 win at Warden Arena inside the Alfond Sports Center.
  The Tars had three players score in double figures in what was there eighth straight loss. Six of the eight have been five points or fewer.  Jeff Merton had a game and career high 23 points- Sharif Almulla netted 12- while Kyle Koszuta scored a career high 11.  Rollins shot 48 percent in the loss.  They shot 36 percent (8-22) from the 3-point line.  Rollins shot 64 percent (7-11) at the free throw line.  They had 14 assists and 19 turnovers.
  The Fighting Knights were led by Benjamin Berry with 18 points- while Aaron Harrison added 12.  Lynn shot 37 percent (7-19) from the 3-point line.  They shot at a 75 percent clip (12-16) from the free throw line.  The Fighting Knights won the rebounding battle 35-26.  They had 11 assists and 18 turnovers.
  Lynn jumped out to a 11 point lead (23-12) in the game's first ten minutes.  The Tars would fight back after playing uphill the entire first half and tie the game at 35 on a pair of Almulla free throws at the 1:30 mark.  Dante Scholl would hit a pair of free throws and give the Fighting Knights a 37-35 halftime lead.
  Lynn would stretch the lead to six in the early part of the second half before Chris Uhle would score five straight Rollins points and a Alex Blessig layup would give the Tars the lead (43-42.)  The game would go back and froth from that point as there would be six ties and four lead changes heading into the final minute.
 Uhle knotted the score at 59 on a backdoor feed from Almulla that led to a dunk.  The game was tied twice more and the Tars would have the ball with a chance to win it.  Alex Blessig would have his pocket picked by Wilson and he would convert at the other end with 1.8 seconds left.  A desperation 3-pointer by Merton as time expired would not go and the Tars would still be looking for that elusive first conference win of the season.
 The Tars will be back in action Wednesday when they head to Rubin Arena to take on Palm Beach Atlantic. Rollins was a 89-61 winner over the Sailfish earlier this month in Winter Park.
