Photo: Alabama A&M University's 6-11/205 senior forward, Mickell Gladness had 17 points, 8 rebounds and 5 block shots, but it was not enough for a Bulldog win over rival Alabama State in front of a home crowd of 5,291 at Elmore Gym.
HUNTSVILLE -- Different venue, same result. Behind 26 points from Andrew Hayles, Alabama State jumped out to a big first-half lead over rival Alabama A&M and didn't allow the Bulldogs within striking distance the rest of the way.
The Hornets swept the regular season series with an 85-70 win.
"Against A&M, you know we're going to be ready to play and come out strong," Hayles said. "That's how it was tonight. We were just focused and playing as a team from the start. Everybody played together and followed the game plan."
And so are the Hornets (14-8, 10-2).
