Garrison Johnson and Tyrone Hanson combined for 14 points in overtime to help Jackson State ease past Texas Southern in a televised SWAC contest at Health & PE Center in Houston Monday.

Hanson made four free throws and a layup for six points in the overtime contest that was aired live on ESPNU. He finished the game with 18 points.

Texas Southern's DeAndre Hall kept TSU close with six of his 14 points in the extra period. TSU sent the game into overtime when Marc Ellis hit the second of two free throws to knot the game at 53-53 with :08 left. Seconds earlier, Johnson had nailed another trey to give Jackson State a brief 53-52 edge. Phillip Williams added 12 points for Jackson State, which shot just 38.2 percent from the floor, but made 10 of its 28 three-point tries.
