Top-10 Tuskegee Highlights from 2014-15
#5 :: Tuskegee hits shot with seven seconds left to beat Kentucky State

For the second consecutive game, Tuskegee entered the second half ahead by a single point; however, at the end of the contest that single point proved vital.

Trailing late in the second half, the Golden Tigers continued to claw their way back into the contest and tying the score 42-42 with 4:45 remaining on a pair of free throws by Elijah McMillian. However, Kentucky State took the back just 17 seconds later on a pair of free throws and extended the lead out to 46-42 with 3:37 to play in the contest.

The Golden Tigers trimmed the lead to just one at 46-45 with 3:17 remaining in the contest on a three-pointer by James Vinson. Kentucky State was able to extend the lead to two, before Tuskegee tied the game with 1:40 remaining as McMillian connected on a lay-up to tie the score at 47-all.

Kentucky State attempted to seal the game at the free throw line with 23 seconds remaining. After connecting on the front end of the foul shots, the Thorobreds missed the back end and had just a one-point lead (48-47) with 23 seconds remaining on the clock.

After a turnover with nine seconds remaining, Tuskegee was able to force a turnover of their own on Kentucky State with nine seconds remaining that led to a lay-up from David Alexander with seven seconds remaining. That basket gave the Golden Tigers a 49-48 lead, and they held on the win following a missed three-pointer with just three seconds remaining to record the come-from-behind victory.     

Alexander and Kevin May led Tuskegee with 10 points and five rebounds each. Camden Foster led the Golden Tigers with six rebounds, while Marcus Montague led Kentucky State with 14 points and six rebounds.
