Richmond Jackson led the Bulldogs with 18 points including two thunderous dunks. The junior from Detroit also benefitted twice being fouled on three point shot attempts.
“I have been feeling comfortable as of late,” said Jackson. “It feels good that my coach and teammates trust me. We knew they would key on Cam (Lewis) so others had to do their part. I am finally having fun.”
Lewis, the GCAC Player of the Year, was held seven points under his average. The junior scored 15 points but contributed on the defensive end with seven deflections, six rebounds, two steals and a block. Lewis scored nine of the Bulldogs first 15 points. He ended the half with 11 points. A key assist to Chris Pollard by Lewis gave the Bulldogs a six point lead with 1:01 left in regulation to seal the deal.
“I have been preaching to the guys since the summer that we need to trust each other,” said Fisk Head Coach Deajada “Jay” Smith. “That goes for me too. We knew this would be tough because they were playing in their home gym. I am proud of Cam because he didn’t force the issue. Tonight turned out to be Rich’s night and the guys rode him. We have shown all year that we could score. Holding them to 64 points in their own gym in a win or go home scenario shows we played with heart. To be honest I like playing on the road better because you have to be tough.”
The game was nip and tuck until the waning seconds. Dillard senior Jeremy Rixner played strong second half to keep the game close. Rixner’s second three point play in the half gave Dillard an three point lead. Rixner was winded and was replaced. With Dillard’s big man out, Fisk took advantage as Jackson drove to the basket the next two offensive trips. One time he scored on a layup, the next time he was fouled.
“They played tough and gritted it out,” said Dillard Head Coach Bernard Griffith of Fisk. Rixner played good. He is a senior and we expected that. I wish Fisk well the rest of the way.Joining Jackson and Lewis in double figures was Walter Arnold with 10 points. Off the bench Craig Jeudy and Austin Watkins also had 10. For Dillard Huston Chatman had 11 and Jordan Kilson added 10 in his final game of his college career. Fisk will again play on their opponents’ home court as they take on number one seed Xavier at the Convocation Center. The game will begin at 7 p.m.

Lady Buldog senior Janine Davis came into the game with a chip on her shoulder after being left off of the All GCAC team. The Jamaica, N.Y. native was first in the country in assists to turnover ratio and also was second in assists per game. Davis scored a career high 32 points.
"I didn't want this to be my last game." said the 5'6 Davis. "I wanted us to survive and advance and we did. it feels good to get this one. This was a team effort. My teammates wanted win this for the seniors. We will have to play harder tomorrow though. I will celebrate this one for about 30 minutes."
The Lady Bulldogs went out to what seemed to be a comfortable 13 point lead with 7:05 left in the second half after a pair of three point shots by freshman Nailah Whitlock on assists from Davis. But the Lady Tigers wouldn't go away cutting the lead to 81-79 after a pair of three point shots by Lasherria Sprinkle. Whitlock was fouled with 0.5 to go and had a chance to finally put the game away but split the free throws. A long inbound pass from Amber Johnson to Courtney Roberts was shot after the buzzer sounded. The ball went in but it didn't count. It would have tied the game.
"Hey a win is a win when you are in this one and done format," said Fisk Head Coach Tony Thompson. "We went up big but hurt ourselves at the free throw line. We also took a bad three when we were up seven and in control with a little over a minute left. I will take it but we have to play much better tomorrow. Everyone stepped up tonight. My seniors (Davis and Nacori Foreman) talked to the team and they responded."
All GCAC sophomore Rashida Ademosu scored 18 points for Fisk but fouled out with 4:34 left in regulation and her team up by 13 points. Kimberly Gordon (13 points) scored on a three point play and GCAC Freshman of the Year Jamilia Burgos followed up with a three point shot to get Voorhees back in the game. The foul on Ademosu and subsequent plays was the turning point to make the game close.
"That how we have been playing all year," said Lady Tiger Coach Edward Glover. "We graduated 11 players from last year so we knew it would be tough. I am happy how we never gave up. That is a good team we lost to. We will get back to work and improve next year. My senior Amber Johnson (16 points) played her heart out today. We will be back."Whitlock added 12 points for Fisk and the NAIA rebound per game leader Foreman grabbed three rebounds under her average with 13. Joining Johnson in double figures for Voorhees were Kimberly Gordon with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Roberts added 12 points and Kritofia Smart had 11. Fisk will take on number one seeded Talladega tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. Talledega swept the Lady Bulldogs in two games this season. The game will be played at The Battlefield.

KSU Women's Basketball Drops Quarterfinal Game Against Clark Atlanta, 72-69
Birmingham, Alabama -- The Kentucky State University Thorobrettes barely missed out on a chance to advance to the semifinal round of the SIAC Basketball Championship Tournament when they fell to the Clark Atlanta University Lady Panthers, 72-69, on Thursday afternoon at the Bill Harris Arena.
#2W Kentucky State (12-15) started strong in both halves, but #3E Clark Atlanta (19-8) never stopped pushing back and was able to secure the comeback win after KSU guard Taylor Sanders missed a potential game tying 3-point attempt as time expired.
The Thorobrettes were led by junior forward Brieona Warner who dropped in a team-high 19 points while pulling down nine rebounds. Warner was limited by foul trouble and ended up fouling out with 1:07 remaining. Sophomore guard Nandi Taylor picked up a season-high eight assists on Thursday but also struggled against the CAU pressure, turning the ball over seven times. Seniors Style Harper and LaShell West contributed with 12 and 10 points respectively in their final game as Thorobrettes.
With the game tied at 65-65, CAU guard Conisha Hicks scored the final seven points for the Lady Panthers who move on to face #1E Albany State in the semifinal round. Hicks finished with a game-high 24 points along with three assists and three steals.
Besides the large runs, both teams lead by as many at 10 points, the biggest storyline of the game was turnovers. Clark Atlanta forced the Thorobrettes into 18 turnovers, consistently harassing the KSU guards. The Lady Panthers picked up 13 steals and scored 26 points off turnovers.
In the first half KSU center Crystal Allen converted a layup to put the Thorobrettes ahead of CAU 25-18 with 7:07 left. From there Clark Atlanta would take over going on an extended 21-6 run to finish the opening period. Clark Atlanta entered the locker room ahead of KSU, 39-31.
The Thorobrettes regrouped at halftime and would slowly wear down the Lady Panthers in the second half.
At the 11:42 mark of the second half Warner converted a layup after an effective up and under move to give the Thorobrettes their first lead since the Lady Panthers went ahead, 29-28, with 4:34 left in the opening period.
That basket started a 17-7 run that put KSU ahead, 65-56, with just over four minutes left in the contest.
The Lady Panthers again fought their way back. CAU fought all the way back to tie the game at 65-65 when Denissea Law converted a fast break layup with 2:14 left.
After Harper hit the front end of a pair of free-throws for KSU, CAU guard Conisha Hicks hit a timely 3-pointer and converted a pair of free-throws in successive possessions to put CAU ahead 70-66 with just 1:07 left in the game.
Kentucky State guard West converted an and-one jumper to pull the Thorobrettes to within one at 70-69 with 51 seconds left.
After the Thorobrettes forced a shot-clock violation KSU took possession with 27 seconds left. Miscommunication led to a crucial turnover and CAU retook possession with just seven seconds remaining. After a quick foul, Hicks hit a pair of free-throws to extend the CAU lead to 72-69 with 5.4 seconds remaining.
Sanders got off a potential game tying 3-point attempt as time expired but the shot fell short and Clark Atlanta escaped with the 72-69 victory.

NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Rachel Allen scored 17 points, but the Tennessee State women’s basketball team fell to Eastern Kentucky, 79-75, in Thursday’s first game of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament.
Playing in her final game as a college athlete, Alana Morris notched 14 points, while Second Team All-OVC teamer Chelsea Hudson poured in 11.
Eastern Kentucky was led by Marie Carpenter’s 24 points, 22 of which came in the second half.
TSU had a seven-point advantage heading into the final period, but the Lady Colonels shot a scorching 51.9 percent during the final 20 minutes.
Tennessee State started fast as Morris scored from in-close off of a nice pass from Jayda Johnson on TSU’s first possession and Johnson followed that with back-to-back jumpers on the next two trips down.
With the Lady Tigers leading 14-11, Brianna Lawrence found LaTeasha Hill underneath the basket on an inbounds play. Hill caught the pass, converted a layup and was fouled. The junior made the ensuing free throw to put TSU up by six with 12:52 left in the first half.

Briana Morrow nailed a free throw in the waning seconds of the stanza, and TSU went into the locker room with a 39-32 lead.
The Lady Tigers were 11-of-26 (42.3 percent) in the first 20 minutes and beat the Lady Colonels in second-chance points, 12-2.

TSU, which had only four turnovers in the entire first half, started the second with three consecutive to aid the EKU cause.
Eastern Kentucky got up by as many as six, but an 8-0 TSU run later in the period put the Lady Tigers back in front, 62-60, with 8:05 to play. Morris led the charge with a pair of buckets, and her second caused EKU to call time.
The sides went back-and-forth for the remainder of the contest, with neither side gaining more than a two-point advantage until two Carpenter freebies gave the Lady Colonels a four-point cushion, 79-75.
Allen had one more shot, but it went wide and the Tennessee State women’s basketball season ended in the Nashville Municipal Auditorium by four points.
TSU was 7-of-13 (53.8 percent) from the free throw line in the second half, after knocking down 16-of-19 (84.2 percent) in the first.

The Lady Pirates are in their first season under interim head coach Michael Pelegrino, who was an assistant coach last season as Hampton won 34 games, taking the MEAC Northern Division regular-season title and winning its first MEAC Tournament crown since 1996.
Jackson was a large part of last season's success, earning MEAC Pitcher of the Year honors after winning 26 games for the Lady Pirates and striking out a MEAC-best (and school-record) 255 batters in 252.0 innings pitched.
She was also an NFCA Second Team All-Region selection and a Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) Second Team All-State honoree. Jackson led the MEAC in wins, ERA (2.64), and strikeouts last season, while setting school records in innings pitched, appearances, and starts.

McCoy was second in the MEAC in hits, doubles, and total bases last season, while ranking third in the conference in batting average and tying for fourth in RBIs. She was also fifth in the MEAC in on-base percentage.
Junior Kerissa Burruel (Phoenix, Ariz.) was a Second Team All-MEAC selection last season, after hitting .285 for the season, recording a .350 on-base percentage, and going 3-for-4 in stolen bases. She also had a .925 fielding percentage, committing just 11 errors on the season.
Sophomore Diamond Ponds (Riverside, Calif.) was tied for fifth in the MEAC last season with 22 stolen bases.
The Lady Pirates are 5-4 all-time against Central Connecticut State, as the two teams have met annually in this tournament for the past four years. Hampton is 1-5 all-time against St. Bonaventure, and the two teams last met in 2000, when the Lady Pirates won 5-2.

The Lady Pirates are in their first season under interim head coach Michael Pelegrino, who was an assistant coach last season as Hampton won 34 games, taking the MEAC Northern Division regular-season title and winning its first MEAC Tournament crown since 1996.
Jackson was a large part of last season's success, earning MEAC Pitcher of the Year honors after winning 26 games for the Lady Pirates and striking out a MEAC-best (and school-record) 255 batters in 252.0 innings pitched.
She was also an NFCA Second Team All-Region selection and a Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) Second Team All-State honoree. Jackson led the MEAC in wins, ERA (2.64), and strikeouts last season, while setting school records in innings pitched, appearances, and starts.
Jackson also threw 25 complete games last season.
The Lady Pirates return seven letterwinners and five starters (as well as two pitchers) from last season's squad, including Wilkins, who was named First Team All-MEAC last season after hitting .343 with six home runs and 32 RBIs.
She tied for second in the MEAC with 49 runs scored last season, and Wilkins was also third in the conference in hits, fifth in total bases, seventh in doubles, and tied for eighth in the home runs.
McCoy was the Most Outstanding Player of last season's MEAC Tournament, and she earned VaSID Second Team All-State honors after hitting a team-best .398. She also led the Lady Pirates in hits, doubles, TBIs, total bases, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, and fielding percentage.
McCoy was second in the MEAC in hits, doubles, and total bases last season, while ranking third in the conference in batting average and tying for fourth in RBIs. She was also fifth in the MEAC in on-base percentage.
Junior Kerissa Burruel (Phoenix, Ariz.) was a Second Team All-MEAC selection last season, after hitting .285 for the season, recording a .350 on-base percentage, and going 3-for-4 in stolen bases. She also had a .925 fielding percentage, committing just 11 errors on the season.
Sophomore Diamond Ponds (Riverside, Calif.) was tied for fifth in the MEAC last season with 22 stolen bases.
The Lady Pirates are 5-4 all-time against Central Connecticut State, as the two teams have met annually in this tournament for the past four years. Hampton is 1-5 all-time against St. Bonaventure, and the two teams last met in 2000, when the Lady Pirates won 5-2.
Hampton has never faced Drexel or Iona.

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.
It was ugly as Tuskegee, the top-seeded team in the western half of the tournament, came out looking as if it'd drag a team it had already beaten by double-digits twice in two regular season meetings.
"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."

Trent Gymnasium filled for celebration of Livingstone Blue Bears CIAA title
SALISBURY, North Carolina -- In a celebration nearly 70 years in the making, Livingstone College alumni, students, faculty and staff partied inside Trent Gymnasium Wednesday in commemoration of the men’s basketball team’s historic CIAA Championship.
The Blue Bears earned the right to finally be called CIAA champions Saturday after defeating rival Winston-Salem State University 83-68 inside Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. The victory moved Livingstone from bridesmaid status — the Blue Bears were tournament runners-up in 2013 and 2011 — and proved the third time really is a charm.
“I’ve been going to the tournament for more than 40 years,” said Fannie Butler of Salisbury, who earned a bachelor’s degree in math from Livingstone in 1949. “Over the years I was expecting them to win the CIAA but didn’t know if we would or not.”
Tennessee State Kicks Off Spring Football Practice
NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- The Tennessee State football team began spring practice on Wednesday after the originally scheduled start on Monday was canceled due to weather.

The Tigers wasted no time in kicking off the training, immediately going into special teams plays. Players then split up into their position groups to work on form and technique.
TSU went for two hours before heading into the locker room to shower and hit the books.
Tennessee State will next practice at 5:30 a.m. on Friday before taking a week off for Spring Break. Training sessions will resume March 17 at 4 p.m.
Practice times will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. until the Spring Game on April 5.
