The Tennessee State University Tigers evened their OVC record at 3-3 with a 55-46 win at Samford University’s new Pete Hanna Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. Two TSU players Jerrell Houston and Reiley Ervin scored in double figures scoring 15 and 10 points respectively. Samford managed just two double figure scorers. Guard Josh Bedwell led all scorers and rebounders with 16 points and nine rebounds while center Travis Peterson tallied 14 points."We didn't shoot the ball well tonight at all," said Samford head coach Jimmy Tillette. "We can't have (Travis) Peterson go 0-for-5, (Joe Ross) Merritt go 1-for-7 and (Trey) Montgomery go 1-for-5 from 3-point range and expect to win. We need to be better in our zone offense and that falls on me, because I need to do a better job of coaching it."
The Bulldogs' loss was also their first home defeat against Tennessee State (6-9, 3-3 OVC) since Nov. 28, 1986.
