He scored 19 of his game-high point total in the second half to rally the Spartans from an 18-point deficit. The loss snapped McKendree's 27-game American Midwest regular-season winning streak, which dated back to the 2007-08 season.

On Feb. 11, Roberson finished with 23 points, four assists and three rebounds in the 82-80 road win at Harris-Stowe State (Mo.). He now stands with 24 games this year of going for at least 10 points.
