The Hornets fall to 10-2 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

Tabb scored 24 points, Nick West had 17, Rakiya Battle added 12 points and Justin Colvin scored 11.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a 19-7 lead early in the game and held off the Hornets to lead 39-35 at the half.

Alabama A&M also hit 6 of 19 three-point shots and was 22 of 34 from the free-throw line.

The Bulldogs continue on the road with a game at Southern University next Saturday and at Alcorn State on Feb. 23.
