You can catch all the action on 91.5 FM WPRK and round the world on RollinSports.com with Jim "Shooter" Ferro and Robert Siegel on the call. Tip time is slated for 4 PM.
The Tars are coming off a wild double overtime victory that featured a little bit of everything. That included almost four hours from tip to finish after a broken rim delayed the game at Florida Tech for one hour and 45 minutes. Rollins would walk away with a 94-92 win behind a career high 26 points from Kyle Marion- Jakobi Bonner netted 20- Connor Mckim contributed 16 and grabbed eight rebounds- while Dayton Gumm tallied 14. Rollins shot 41 percent from the field- 42 percent (14-33) from the 3-point line- and- 86 percent (18-21) at the free throw line. They had 17 assists- and- 11 turnovers as a team.
Rollins (14-13 8-11 SSC) is scoring 77.7 points per game- while they allow 76.1 points per contest. They are 6-4 in true road games this season. Individually the Tars are paced by Bonner who scores 18.0 points per night- Hutton Yenor adds 12.9 per game- Mckim tallies 11.9 per contest to go with a team leading 3.3 assists per night- and- Gumm contributes 11 per game- Marion is putting up 9.9 per contest- while Trevor Recio leads the team in rebounding at 7.4 per contest. The Tars are currently the seventh seed in the SSC tournament and could improve to sixth with a win and some help. Seventh is the worst they can do with the tournament pairing being released after Saturday's action.
Eckerd (9-18 5-14 SSC) is coming off a 88-80 win over Saint Leo last time out. Myron Hagins- and- Phillip Cirillo led the Tritons with 21 points- Travis Bianco netted 19- and- Admir Radonic tallied 17 points- and- 12 rebounds. The Tritons shot 42 percent from the field- 44 percent (10-23) from the 3-point line- and- 65 percent (24-37) at the free throw line. Eckerd crushed Saint Leo on the boards 53-36 in the win. The Tritons score 78.4 points per game- while they allow 80.8 per contest. They out rebound the opposition by almost three boards per game (38.6-35.7.)
