The second half saw the undersized Bayamon team not be able to stay with the Tars and there high octane offense. Rollins would cruise to a 105-72 win. After not eclipsing the century mark for seven years the Tars have now done it twice in the past week.

Sharif Almulla scored a career high 25 points- Joey Galvis a personal best 18- and- Eric Castaneda had 12 in his first significant minutes of the season. For the second straight game Sam Philpott had a monster second half, this time scoring all 14 of his points in the second stanza. Mike Bedulskis and Jeff Merton added 10 points each. James Ferrell added a career high nine assists.
  Three players from Bayamon (0-1) scored in double figures. Alexis Parilla had a double-double (17 points and 10 rebounds.)  Nataneil Martinez had 17- while Luis Gonzalez put up 12.

  Bayamon came out hot in the early going. They took a early five point lead after a Parilla 3-pointer two minutes in. The Tars would gain there footing and take what would be there first lead of the game 16-14 after a Amulla bucket just over six minutes in. The Tars wold maintain the lead, it would be five (38-33) before Merton drilled a 3-pointer right before the intermission.
