Tarkanian Platinum Semifinal Results:<\/em><\/p>\n

Overland (Aurora, Col.) 64, Bingham (South Jordan, Utah) 55<\/strong>
\nAfter a so-so performance at last year's Tarkanian Classic, Overland has used that experience to propel itself into Saturday's 6:20 pm championship final. Overland overcame a eight point deficit in the final eight minutes of the second half versus a game Bingham team that ran out of steam at the end. Overland improved to 6-0 behind the play of 6-foot-2 guard Jervae Robinson<\/strong> and Indiana-bound De'Ron Davis<\/strong>. Robinson netted 18 points and is averaging 19.3 ppg through three games. Davis, a 6-foot-9 senior, didn't score big in the first two Overland wins, but came up with 16 points, 12 rebounds, six blocks and four steals as the Trailblazers handed Bingham its second loss of the season. Davis scoring wasn't needed in the first two games, but his presence created opportunities for teammates and the team's perimeter players are much improved from last season.<\/p>\n

In last year's event, Putnam City's Tyson Jolly<\/strong> elevated his status from a mid-major recruit to one with high-major offers because of his play at this event and the same thing will happen for Robinson. The senior guard hit two late 3-pointers to propel Overland's comeback. Coach Danny Fisher<\/strong> of Overland felt his team wasn't prepared for the national competition of this tournament last season, but that experience has paid dividends this time around.<\/p>\n
