With the Scots up 52-50, the Blue Jays' Andrew Buxton took a three-pointer that would have given his team the lead. It was off the mark and, thanks to their perfect finish, the Scots would never let the visitors get in that position again. Rogers made two free throws with 5:34 remaining, and his three-point play at the 3:30 mark put the Scots ahead 61-54. Jim Dibble and Rogers then sandwiched two treys around two Joe Terwelp free throws, and Rogers' basket was the game-breaker, putting the Scots up 69-61 with about a minute left.
Rogers had 10 of his team-high 17 points in the final 5:34, and Terwelp also netted 17 for the game. Dibble finished with 11, David Price scored eight and the Scots' fifth starter, Chris Hebeler, had eight points, seven boards and three assists as Monmouth improved to 2-1.
The Bluejays, now 0-5, were led by Buxton's 11 points.
