For the basketball team, Florida Southern was the twenty-fifth game of the season, and a very good game for senior Johnny Reibel, #22. He was the top scorer, with twenty two points comprised of multiple three point shots throughout the game.

With two minutes and thirty seconds remaining in the first half, Reibel stole the ball and made a layup, cutting around all opponents.

With Reibel's help, the team led most of the game. Momentum picked up towards the end of the second half, and at the last second Craig Reichel, #50, made a three point shot, keeping the team in the lead 37-33.

Though the excitement of the first half carried over into the second, there was a large sense of chaos that came along with multiple fouls.

Every few moments, the teams would tie, and were extremely aggressive, causing a few injuries. Kevin Hogan, #14, scored a three point shot at 43 seconds left, bringing the team back into the lead.

Though there was less than a minute left, a time out was called, along with several more fouls. During the last 31 seconds of the game, Florida Southern scored a three pointer, resulting in a final score of 76-80, creating one of only a few losses for the Rollins team.
