Roberson scored a career-high 23 points and went 5-for-8 from behind the 3-point arc. Augustine Rubit recorded his third straight double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Javier Carter just missed a double-double of his own with 11 points and nine boards, but added four blocks.
The Jags scored a season-high 44 points in the first half and hit seven triples as a team.
Head coach Ronnie Arrow wins his 111th career Sun Belt game to tie Gene Bartow for the most in conference history.
