Tuskegee, AL– One point made the difference in Frankfort, Kentucky, however on their home court the Golden Tigers roped the Thorobreds quite quickly, winning the contest 75-66.

Less than one minute into the contest, KSU took a 5-0 lead over TU; this did not last as Tuskegee's battle cry resonated around Chappie James. The opening half was tied on several occasions, yet the Thorobreds had a three-point lead at halftime because of a three-pointer at the buzzer.
 
During halftime, the Golden Tigers celebrated their three seniors, David Alexander, Graham Olatunji and Vladmir Tilme. Last year's Championship Team was reunited as they were presented with their rings.

This contest was a beauty from the opening tip to the final buzzer.
