SIAC basketball tournament: Stillman College (capsule)

STILLMAN 
Record:16-12, 11-6 SIAC
Last 5 games: 4-1
Next game:  TBD

For the record: Stillman is currently second in the SIAC West behind in-state foe Tuskegee. The Tigers split a pair of games with each team winning on other's floor. Coach Michael Grant's team was stellar at home with a 9-3 mark at Birthright Hall while being solid on the road with a near-.500 mark (6-7).

Key players: Bryant Daniel (19.6 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.0 apg) Markeith Madison (16.6 ppg, 7.3 rbg, 1.7 apg); Justin Harris (13 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.4 apg); Stanley Magee (12.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.0 apg); Jeffrey Wherry (10.6 ppg, 3.9, 2.9 apg); D'uanaway Barnes (10.4 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 4.1 apg).

Why they could win the tournament: At 83.7 points per game, Stillman leads the SIAC in scoring. Having six players who average double-figures in scoring means they spread it around incredibly well. They'll be a tough cover for any team that has to defend them.
