HOUSTON, Texas -- Last week, Texas Southern defeated Alcorn State to clinch the SWAC regular-season basketball championship at the H&PE Arena.On Wednesday at Toyota Center, the two teams met again. This time there was more at stake.
TSU again beat the Braves. And with the 95-74 win, the Tigers advance to the SWAC Tournament semifinals on Friday, where they could potentially meet Prairie View, which plays its first game in the tournament on Thursday.
"We were trying to set the tone here, being the first game," said Tigers forward Malcolm Riley, who had a team-high 21 points with 10 rebounds. "We're going to keep it going. We did a good job of that. We really emphasized it on the defensive end."
