Barry-ied In Miami.

The Rollins Tars faced a top 20 opponent for the third consecutive game on Friday and the result was a familiar one. This time it was a 90-70 loss at the hands of the 10th ranked Barry Buccaneers at the Sport and Health Center in Miami Shores. The third consecutive loss dropped Rollins to 7-6 overall and 1-3 in the SSC. With the victory Barry stayed atop the SSC at 9-1 overall and 5-1 in the SSC.
  The Tars were led in scoring by Eric Castaneda who scored 14 points off the bench- Connor McKim added 13- while Sam Philpott and Joey Galvis each scored 10.  Rollins shot 39 percent as a team in the game- they were 11-29 (38 percent) from the 3-point line. The Tars shot 68 percent (19-28) from the free throw line.  They had 12 assists and 16 turnovers.
  Barry was led by Sawyer Glick who drained seven 3-pointer's en route to his 27 points- Adrian Gonzalez added 21- while Elvar Fridriksson dished out a game high 10 assists.  The Bucs shot 49 percent as a team- including 39 percent (14-36) from the 3-point line. At the free throw line they shot 67 percent (8-12.)  Barry dominated the rebounding battle, crushing the Tars on the boards 42-28.  They had 24 assists and 16 turnovers as a team.
  Connor McKim buried a 3-pointer on the Tars first trip down the floor and five minutes into the game it was tied at eight.  Glick got hot and would bury three consecutive 3-pointer's to give the Bucs the lead but the Tars would battle back with a 9-2 run of their own after a Castaneda 3-pointer to make it 22-20 midway thru the opening half.  The Bucs would take control late in the first half and would open up a 17 point (51-34) halftime lead.
  Barry would start the second half on a 9-0 run that would put this one out of reach for the Tars. Rollins would not get any closer than 20 the rest of the way.
Rollins will be back in action Wednesday when they head home to Winter Park to face Tampa. Tip time is set for 730 PM. You can catch all the action on the Geico Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com and locally on 91.5 FM WPRK Winter Park.
