ASU Falls to Rollins Men’s Basketball

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The early start time proved to be a tough one for the Golden Rams. Albany State made a second half push but it could not get enough momentum as Rollins College took away the 69-41 men's basketball win on the second day of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference/Sunshine State Conference Challenge.
 
Trailing by 16 points 9:03 into the second half, Kenneth Brown drained a trey and Jaxon Yancy pulled down the rebound, put it in and finished the conventional 3-point play at the foul line for the Golden Rams (0-2) momentum and pulled within 10, 51-41, at 10:05. The Tars (2-0), though, answered back with the next eight tallies and went on for the win.
 
On the afternoon, ASU found it hard to put points on the scoreboard when it made only 18 of 59 shots (.310) from the floor and only hit 7 of 28 from long range. Rollins also outrebounded ASU by a 39-27 margin and outscored them 18-5 on second-chance points.
 
Leading the way, Brown garnered top Ram honors with 15 points off a trio of 3-pointers and 4 of 4 from the foul line to go with four boards and two steals. Shemarion Hardy added two treys of his own for 12 points and handed out three assists.
 
Yancy chipped in eight points off the bench, while Xavier Sorrell had six rebounds and five points. Christian Gary finished with five rebounds and three points. Both Mark Saade and Opeyemi Wilson had one bucket apiece.
 
Rollins received 21 points by Jackson Gaffney.
 
In the early moments of the contest, Brown drilled the game's first 3-pointer 52 seconds in the day and gave the Golden Rams what would be its lone advantage of the day at 3-2. At 14:31, Hardy slipped in for a driving layup for the other closest point of the game to trail by a point, 8-7.
 
Rollins held a 33-14 halftime lead and prevented ASU from getting any closer than the 10-point difference in the final 20 minutes.
 
ASU makes a brief swing into SIAC action when it goes up to Atlanta next Thursday night (Nov. 19) against Morehouse College. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m.
