After another tough 1-point, nail-biting game in the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Stetson Hatters are now on the road for their 2012-13 regular-season road trip, before closing out at home with a trio of games.

The latest heartbreaker came here Feb. 8 at the hands of the East Tennessee State Bucs, 62-61, who rallied in the second half. This left the Hats 7-6 in the ASC and 10-14, while the Bucs improved to 6-7 and 8-18, respectively.

Aaron Graham swished home five 3-pointers for 15 Hatter points. Adam Pegg added 10 points, with Willie Green sweeping the glass with 11 rebounds. Jarvis Jones and Rashawn Rembert keyed the rally with 17 points and 16 points, respectively, while Hunter Harris added a double-double, with 12 points and 10 rebounds, plus two blocks.

Stetson led, 38-26, at the half, and was ahead, 54-37, with 10:55 to play, when the Bucs used a closing 25-7 run, capped by a 3-pointer by Rembert, with six seconds to play for the win.

Thursday, Feb. 14, the Hats will be at Lipscomb, and then at Northern Kentucky Saturday, Feb. 16. SU closes out at home with Florida Gulf Coast, Kennesaw State, and Mercer before the ASC tournament in Macon, Ga., March 6-9.
