Basketball can be a cruel game sometimes. That was on full display Tuesday night at Rick Case Arena on the campus of Nova Southeastern. In the two meetings during the regular season Rollins upset top ranked NSU 86-85 on the road- then lost by four at home. On Tuesday in the Quarterfinals of the Sunshine State Conference Tournament the second highest scoring team in the nation shredded the top scoring defense in the conference- and- Rollins turned the ball over 24 times (18 in the first half) in a 115-81 NSU victory. Jakobi Bonner scored 22 points in his final game in a Rollins uniform- Trevor Recio added 16 in his final game of his Rollins career- and- Dayton Gumm scored 10 in the last game of the Rollins season.
The Tars shot 49 percent as a team- 54 percent (7-13) from the 3-point line- and- 80 percent (24-30) at the free throw line. The Tars had 14 assists- and- 24 turnovers in the contest.
The second seeded Sharks jumped out to a lead early and never trailed in this one. Mikkel Kolstad hit a pair of 3-pointer's to start the game and made seven on the day on his way to 23 points- Eddie Puisis hit five triples on his way to 17 points- Lukas Spiedel was three for three from long range on his way to 15 points- Mark Matthews added 14 to go along with 10 rebounds- and- RJ Sunahara netted 11. The Sharks shot a blistering 67 percent from the floor- 66 percent (21-32) from the 3-point line- and- shot 80 percent (12-15) at the free throw line. NSU won the rebounding battle 27-25. They had 33 assists- and- 16 turnovers in the contest.
Kolstad hit two 3-pointer's in the games first minute to set the tone in this one. After a Bonner three-point play at the 15:38 mark of the half Rollins was down 13-5. The Sharks would then go on a 12-0 run to open up a 20 point lead (25-5) a little more than three minutes later. Halfway thru the opening half it was 29-10 in favor of NSU. After another three point play by Bonner it was a 34-17 Rollins deficit at the 8:14 mark of the half. Rollins would go on a quick 5-0 run as Parker Davis hit a 3-pointer- and- Recio hit a pair of free throws to make it 37-22 with 6:51 in the opening stanza. NSU would go another 10-0 spurt to make the lead 47-22 with 4:01 in the half. It would ultimately be a 61-31 NSU lead at the break.
The second half was much like the first half as the Tars would have no answer for the high powered Sharks offense on this night. NSU looked nothing like the team who had finished the regular season 2-3 having not reached 100 points in any of those contests. With 5:13 remaining NSU would eclipse the century mark on a Jake Maranville 3-pointer. The Sharks are now 15-1 on the season when they score 100 points or more.
Rollins finishes the campaign 14-15 on the season. NSU with the win advances to the Semifinals of the SSC Tournament where they will host third seeded Palm Beach Atlantic on Thursday night.

The Rollins Tars travel to Melbourne to battle the Florida Tech Panthers in Sunshine State action on Wednesday. The game is slated to tip at 7:30 PM from the Clemente Center.
Rollins (13-13 7-11 SSC) comes into the contest seventh in the Sunshine State Conference. The top eight teams in the conference qualify for the SSC Tournament.

Brooks Cluxton also had a solid game scoring nine points and grabbing 10 rebounds in a losing effort.

Rollins Nipped At Home By Barry.
The Rollins Tars were nipped 84-79 by Barry at Warden Arena on Saturday. With the loss Rollins drops to 12-12 and 6-10 in the SSC. After the victory the Buccaneers improve to 17-7 and 11-6 in the SSC.
Jakobi Bonner led Rollins with 19 points- Connor Mckim added 17- and- Parker Davis scored 14. The Tars shot 41 percent as a team- 36 percent (12-33) from the 3-point line- and- 72 percent (17-22) at the free throw line. The Tars had 16 assists- and- 11 turnovers.

The game was tied at seven in the early going. It would be 13-9 Barry midway thru the opening half. After a Mckim 3-pointer at the 5:42 mark of the opening stanza it was 21-18 Bucs. They would stretch that lead to 33-22 at the half.
Rollins would score the first five points of the second half and after a 3-pointer by Trevor Recio they trailed 33-27. After a Bonner layup at the 11:01 mark Rollins was within four (52-48.) The game looked to be in Barry's control but a push by the Tars capped by a conventional three point play by Bonner got them within six (72-66) at the 2:22 mark. At the 1:13 mark Dayton Gumm would convert a three point play and the lead was down to three (74-71.) Davis would hit a three with 30 seconds left and the Tars would get to within 79-77 but that is as close as they would get as Barry would ice it the free throw line.
Rollins will be back in action Wednesday when they host Lynn. Tip time is set for 7:30 PM at Warden Arena. You can catch all the action on 91.5 FM WPRK Winter Park and worldwide on RollinsSports.com

Rollins Falls To ERAU.
The Rollins Tars got 22 points from Jakobi Bonner-amd- 19 from Kyle Marion but it was not enough in a 98-81 loss at the ICI Center. With the loss Rollins falls to 10-9 and 4-7 in the SSC. The Eagles improve to 14-6 and 6-6 in the SSC with the win.
As mentioned earlier Bonner- and- Marion led the way for the Tars. They shot 44 percent from the field- 38 percent (13-34) from the 3-point line- and- 74 percent (14-19) at the free throw line. Rollins had 19 assists- and- 13 turnovers in the contest.
The high octane Eagles were led by Nick Heard who poured in a game high 35 points- Luka Majostorovic added 17- and- Romeo Crouch chipped in 14- and- a team leading 11 assists. The Eagles shot a sizzling 62 percent from the floor- 53 percent (19-36) from the 3-point line- and- were a perfect 11 of 11 from the free throw line. ERAU won the rebounding battle 34-26. They had 30 assists- and- 15 turnovers as a team.
After a 15-5 start by ERAU Rollins would get to within one (17-16) after a Bonner 3-ball at the 13:26 mark. It would be a five point game (29-24) when the Eagles went on a 19-0 run as the Tars would go more than six minute without a field goal until a Marion layup at the 2:16 mark. Marion would get it to 18 with a 3-pointer- but Tylin Locket-Fuller would hit a three of his own to make it 51-30 Eagles at the half.
The second half would be more of the same as the Eagles would cruise to the victory in the second stanza. Rollins will look to bounce back Saturday when they take on Tampa. Tip time is set for 4 PM. You can catch all the action on 91.5 FM WPRK and on RollinsSports.com

Rollins also won the rebounding battle 30-27.
The Tars average 74.8 points per game- while they allow 71.8 per contest. Bonner leads the season box score putting up 16.9 points per game- Dayton Gumm scores 12.5 per night- and- Hutton Yenor gets 10.8 per contest.
Barry (10-2 4-1 SSC) comes into the contest riding a seven game win streak. Last time out the Buccaneers were a 88-77 winner over Embry-Riddle. Barry was led by Tylan Birts who poured in 32 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Jake Kakar added 17- while Toru Dean chipped in 15. The Bucs shot 49 percent as a team- 26 percent (6-23) from the 3-point line- and- 74 percent (14-19) at the free throw line. Barry won the rebounding battle 45-43. They had 20 assists- and- 16 turnovers in the contest.
Barry averages 89.7 points per game- while defensively they allow 72.5 per night. Four players average double figures on the season for the Buccaneers led by Birts at 16.7 points per game- he also corrals a team leading 8.8 rebounds per contest.
