"We just wanted to keep their shooters in check," Buccaneer coach Jan Allen said. "We put bigger bodies on their shooters and it seemed to throw them off track."

In the second half, Rollins showed why they are three-time defending Sunshine State Conference champions, slowly cutting into the lead until they tied the game 48-48 on a three-pointer from Shannon Pranger with 4:40 left in the half.

Barry stretched the lead back to five points twice, but could not shake the relentless Tars. Jaida Williams hit a pair of free throws with :06 seconds left in the game to put Barry up 59-56. But a Pranger three-pointer with one tick left on clock sent the game into the extra period.
