Marcus Overstreet put together another strong performance with 27 points and 18 rebounds — his 13th double-double of the season — but USCB couldn’t pull out a victory in its home finale, falling to the Flagler Saints, 72-69, Saturday night in The Cove.
Larry Bulluck had 11 points and Kenney Gaines added 10 for the Sand Sharks to join Overstreet in double figures. Gaines put USCB up 11-7 at the 14:24 mark, but Flagler regained the lead two minutes later.
USCB was down three at the half and fell behind 11 just five minutes into the second half, but the Sand Sharks slowly chipped away to trim it to single digits. Bulluck hit a 3-pointer with 30 seconds remaining and USCB had a chance to tie it at the end of regulation, but Bulluck couldn’t get off a clean shot as time expired, and the Saints held on.
The Sand Sharks (10-14, 3-13) conclude the season with road trips to Columbus State on Wednesday and Augusta on Saturday.
