 The Tars would come out as a team on a mission in the second half as they would take what was a three point deficit and turn it into a 11 point lead (55-44.) After a Yenor layup Sergey Grishavev would give Rollins a 46-44 lead A free throw by Kyle Marion would cap the run that gave the Tars the aforementioned 11 point lead. The lead was 12 at the 12:33 mark but a 7-0 Barry run cut it to five before a Cody Potter 3-pointer got the lead back to eight at the 10:14 mark. After a Nick Anderson 3-pointer with exactly seven minutes to go the Rollins lead was just two (67-65) but a bucket by Cluxton stretched the lead to four. After a hoop by the Bucs a 3-pointer by Potter at the 6:12 mark made it 72-67. The lead would cut to two again (74-72) with 5:29 left when a jumper by Marion made it a four point game. A 3-pointer by Landon Kirkwood at the 4:09 mark made it 76-75 but that is as close as the Bucs would get. Marion hit a pair of free throws before a massive corner 3 by Grishaev made it a six point game. Grishaev hit another three at the 1:27 mark to all but seal it at 87-78.
