SIAC Tournament: Tuskegee advances to championship with rout of Kentucky State

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama---Not this time.
 
Tuskegee had jumped out to a double-digit lead right out the gate but let it slip away before eventually emerging victorious with a strong finish against Miles in the quarterfinals of the SIAC men's basketball tournament Wednesday.
 
The Golden Tigers, seeded No. 1 in the western half of the bracket, jumped out to a 20-2 lead against third-seeded Kentucky State and was never seriously threatened as they cruised to a 90-68 semifinal victory.
 
Tuskegee forward senior Richard Dixon, who netted 27 against Miles, finished with a double-double, leading his team with 19 points and added 11 rebounds in Tuskegee's third win of the season against its division foe.
