Rollins, the co-Champions of the Sunshine State Conference regular season is coming off a runner-up finish at the BlueCross

The top seeded Tars rolled past Barry 67-50 and Nova Southeastern 55-43 in the first and second rounds to set up a clash with fellow co-Champion Tampa in the title game. Rollins suffered through their worst shooting night of the season and fell to the Spartans 55-29.

Monticello, out of the Gulf South Conference is 20-8 on the season and is coming off a runner-up finish in the GSC Tournament

Fellow NCAA Tournament participant Fort Valley State serves as the lone common opponent between Rollins and UAM this season.
