CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee -- Austin Peay erased a huge second half deficit for the second straight game Tuesday night at the Dunn Center.But this time they couldn't close out the win, and Florida A&M escaped with an 86-77 victory. Coach Carrie Daniels was once again left searching for answers for why her team didn't play its best until the second half.
"We can't continue to do this," Daniels said. "We have to be ready from jump. You can't continue to dig holes and then use all that energy to get back into the ballgame."
The Lady Govs opened the second half by forcing three turnovers and making seven of their first eight shots that helped them reel off a 14-0 run to cut the FAMU lead to five. They eventually took a 65-64 lead on Whitney Hanely's 3-pointer with just under 6:30 left, but the Lady Rattlers immediately responded with tbhree straight 3s of their own to spark a 10-0 run.
