Next game: TBD
For the record: The Golden Tigers, coached by former Alabama standout Leon Douglas, sit atop the SIAC West standings. After a six-game winning streak, their longest of the season, the Tigers have gone 4-3 in their last seven, including a four-point defeat against Paine College (Ga.) in their regular-season finale.
Key players: Richard Dixon (16.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 0.9 apg); Javier McKinney (14.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.5 apg); Elliot Dean (12.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 2.7 apg); Olatunji Graham (11.5 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 1.5 apg).
Why they could win the tournament: The Golden Tigers put the ball in the hole better than almost any team in the league, shooting 47.4 percent from the field as a team. Two of their top scorers Dixon and Graham, are shooting better than 54 percent. They've also got a ton of experience with only one freshman on its roster after depending heavily on newcomers a year ago.
