TSU men finding ways to win despite lack of playmakers

HOUSTON, Texas - The Texas Southern men's basketball team sorely lacks dynamic scorers. The Tigers are shooting just under 59 percent from the free-throw line. They don't have a dominant rebounder, feared shot blocker or pure point guard.

TSU (6-12, 5-1) continued its strong start to SWAC play with Saturday's 69-55 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff at the H&PE Arena. The Tigers weren't sharp - shooting only 43.4 percent from the field, committing 19 turnovers and hitting just 16 of 30 free throws - but they managed to turn back a late rally from the SWAC's worst team and win their 14th consecutive home game.
