The fact that it happened once is pretty unusual. The fact that happened twice within a minute is nothing short of amazing.
Lincoln’s Dalauren Roberson made two three-pointers midway through the fourth quarter that bounced off the back rim, went about five to six feet straight up in the air and came right back down through the net to account for six points and help seal the Splitters’ 68-65 win over visiting Chelsea.
Whatever works.
“We chuckled after the game about our two three-pointers at the end,” said Lincoln coach Mike Foley of his postgame chat with Chelsea coach Robin Raymond. “I told him that’s how I teach them to shoot. To get the ball in the hole anyway you can.
“I was amazed they went in, but I’m glad that they did. And they were good looks and (Roberson) is a good shooter.”
The second triple from Roberson pushed Lincoln’s lead to 60-56 with 3:30 to play.
Give the Bulldogs credit because a lot of teams would have just thrown in the towel and figure this just wasn’t their night. But Chelsea came down and got points after both of Roberson’s triples.
They also didn’t give up after Ajay Stovall went coast to coast to make it 62-58 with 2:20 to play and they even kept coming after a great move inside by Will Russell resulted in a three-point play and a 67-61 lead with just 29.2 seconds to play.
A basket inside by Chelsea’s Michael Steinhauer cut the lead to 67-65 with 12.2 seconds left. And after Roberson hit one of two free throws with 9 seconds on the clock, Chelsea had a shot to send the game into overtime. As it turned out, it was a good shot.
They got the player they wanted the shot they wanted, but Logan Brown’s triple just missed and Lincoln celebrated a big SEC victory. It was the second league win of the week for the Splitters, who knocked off Saline on Tuesday. Continued...

“(Friday) was a dogfight from the tip,” Foley said. “Chelsea is a great team and they are well coached. You know what they’re going to do, but it’s still hard to stop. They scored some easy baskets off backdoor plays but they will make them against any team in our league.”
Stovall, a senior guard, led the home team with 25 points.
“It felt good to come out with a win,” Stovall said. “It feels real good.”
Roberson scored seven of his 10 points in the fourth quarter and DeMarqus Washington had another solid game with 13 points.
Chelsea’s Jake Fischhaber had an outstanding game for the Bulldogs. The senior forward, who led Chelsea with 17 points, was aggressive to the basket all night long.
Steinhauer continued his strong season with 15 points. Jack McDougall finished with 11 points and hit some big shots and Todd Hollandsworth also scored 11 for the visitors.
The fourth quarter, like the entire game, was close throughout. There were four ties in the quarter before Roberson’s first triple gave Lincoln a 57-54 lead. They would never trail again.
The Splitters raced out of the blocks in the first quarter taking a 7-2 lead on a layup by Stovall. But the Bulldogs answered with a layup by Steinhauer and two free throws by Fischhaber with 3:50 left in the quarter.
Tyler Hinton’s put-back gave the Splitters an 11-8 lead but Cody Barber hit back-to-back buckets – the second coming off a steal and nice pass by Fischhaber – as Chelsea took its first lead of the game at 12-11 with 1 minute to go in the first.
Russell scored inside for Lincoln and Hollandsworth hit a free throw as the Splitters led 14-13 after one period. Continued...

Both teams played well in the second quarter as the lead bounced back and forth. There were three ties in the quarter and neither team led by more than four points.
A three-pointer from the wing by McDougall gave the Bulldogs a 24-22 lead with 4:22 to play. But Lincoln answered with a layup by Javin Kilgo. Two free throws by Stovall and a layup by Chris Williams tied the game at 28-28.
Chelsea went ahead by four points on a nice bucket inside by Hollandsworth, but Lincoln scored the last points of the half to cut Chelsea’s lead to 32-20 at halftime.
Fischhaber twice put Chelsea ahead by five points in the third quarter, but both times Stovall had an answer at the other end. The Splitters tied the game at 43-43 with 2:43 left on a three-point play by Washington.
A tough basket inside by Stovall gave Lincoln its first lead of the second half at 45-43 but McDougall drilled a jumper at the other end to tie the game with a little over a minute to play in the quarter.
The Splitters dribbled down the clock to the final seconds and Roberson drilled a triple at the buzzer to give the home team a 48-45 lead after three quarters.

The JV game between Chelsea and Lincoln wasn’t decided until there was less than 1 second to go in the game. Chelsea’s Tim Mantel was fouled near midcourt when the game appeared headed to overtime. The sophomore stepped to the line with .4 seconds left and hit the first free throw to give the visiting Bulldogs a 48-47 win. See www.heritage.com for a video of the winning free throw.
