TUSKEGEE, Ala. | The Tuskegee University basketball programs will close out a three-game road swing to open the new year in Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) play on Monday when they hit the court against Paine College at the HEAL Complex.

The Tigerettes will start the night at 5:30 pm (est) against Paine, followed by the men at 7:30 pm (est).

The Tuskegee (1-10, 0-3 SIAC) women look to end a three-game conference losing streak and a nine-game losing streak since November in their final road game before a four-game homestand. The Tigerettes continue to improve over the last three games against two of the best in the East Division and NCAA Division I member Alabama A&M. During that stretch of games, the Tigerettes have shot 31 (54-of-174) percent from the floor and forced their opponents into 46 turnovers.

Junior guard Rachel Brownlee continues to lead the Tigerettes in scoring, averaging 17.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game through 11 games.

The Golden Tigers currently lead the conference in scoring defense, and are fifth in the country at 63.4 points per game this season and Monday's game will be a matchup of tempo as Paine is averaging 84 points per game. Tuskegee averages 61.4 points per game offensively, while Paine allows 86.3 points per game.
