SAVANNAH, Georgia  -- There is no doubt that the Savannah State Tigers were well prepared to play the Florida A&M University Rattlers men’s basketball team. From the boisterous crowd to knowing the various tendencies of FAMU players like Jamie Adams and Reggie Lewis, Savannah State was ready to defend their home court, but not without a challenge.

In a game of runs it was Savannah State who made the last run to capture the game. Savannah State took the initial lead, but it was FAMU who maintained a 3 point lead for much of the first half. Savannah State slowly chipped away at the lead and led 29-27 with a little less than 5 minutes left in the first half before making a run of their own and leading 41-28 by the 2 minute mark. At the half Savannah State was up 45-33.
