SIAC Tournament: Tuskegee uses big night from F Richard Dixon to holdoff Miles College

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama---Tuskegee reeled off 17-straight points in its 80-72 victory against Miles College in the quarterfinals of the SIAC tournament at Bill Harris Arena Wednesday night.

Six different Golden Tigers put the ball in the basket before the Golden Bears scored their first point and nearly eight minutes of game time had expired before they connected on their first goal.

"Basically, we had an adrenaline rush the first five or six minutes," Tuskegee coach Leon Douglas said of his team's hot start. Each opponent, they're always going to make a run. Basically, what they did is what I thought they would do. They made a run right before the half."
