ETSU gets revenge on
Dolphins


Ben Hinton posts up ETSU PF Isiah Brown in the first
game of the home at home series.


(Jacksonville, FL) -- After a controversial one point victory over the top team in the Atlantic Sun, the Jacksonville Dolphins were unable match the high scoring ETSU Buccaneers a second time losing big, 91-69.

The Dolphins could not control the tempo this time around as they allowed ETSU to run the ball up and down the court the entire night, something Coach Roberts did not want to let happen. "It was a point of emphasis to keep the pace to what I like to call a balanced pace. We just don't have the atheletes to keep up with this team when they are running like that. We did a good job in our last game against them, but not this time around," said coach Roberts.

Ben Smith led the way for the struggling Dolphins with 13 points. Micah Williams scored 23 for ETSU. The Dolphins drop to 2-3 in the conference (12-10 overall). They face Stetson in another home at home series coming up.

Furious comeback leads to JU win

(AP) Down by 22 points with 7:16 left to play, Ben Smith would help lead the Dolphins' improbable comeback to beat Stetson 81-80. Smith would start and finish the job by hitting 2 big 3-pointers that would start the run. Then, with 9 seconds left to play, gave the Dolphins their first and only lead of the game by getting by Stetson defenders for the open lay up. "It was great to get this win, especially on the road," said Smith after the game.

The Dolphins scored the games final 10 points. Stetson did not help their cause by missing 4 free throws down the stretch that could have iced the game for the Hatters. They would turn the ball over on their final possession allowing JU to run out the clock. Smith finished with 29 for the Dolphins. These two teams will turn around and play each other once again this Wednesday night.

hell of a comeback Coach. I don't know that I could've stayed patient enough to comeback from that far down.

How many games do you have left before the A-Sun tourney?

It was a hell of a comeback. I was really just about to take Ben Smith out of the game to get my freshman guard more PT (not sure if this matters or not when trying to increase his ratings for next season....but I like to think that it does so don't ruin it for me ) .......I had someone coming in for him at the scorer's table...I was just waiting for the next dead ball. While waiting for the next dead ball, I got an open look for a 3 and hit it with Smith......got a defensive stop and SMith hit a 3 on the fast break. I then cancel my sub (sending that freshman guard back to the bench) and then the run began. I was pretty pumped!


JU's remaining schedule along with an Atlantic Sun conference breakdown will be in the next issue of JU BASKETBALL WEEKLY Make sure to get your copy!!!

Excellent job Krob. That was a ridiculous comeback! I'm with CB, I don't think I'd be able to stay that patient to mount a comeback of that magnitude. Good job...what are the standings looking like?

Thanks, it probably ranks right up there near the top of my list of greatest comebacks in my sports video game history. Not a number 1, but definitely a top 5 candidate.

I am at work right now, so I don't have the standings availiable at this moment.....BUT, the standings, remaining schedule, among other things will be included in issue no. 3 of JU BASKETBALL WEEKLY. So make sure to get your copy!
