Tuskegee forced Miles into a slow start but easily made up for it with a punishing second half run en route to a 55-39 win over Tuskegee Saturday afternoon  at Knox-Windham Gymnasium.

Riley Hamilton had 17 points and was the only player to score in double figures for Tuskegee. Jelani Watson-Gayle had 11 points and seven rebounds, Damian Archer added 10 points and five rebounds, and Jose Roman-Angueria -

Devonte Fuller came off the bench to score a game-high 18 points and grab six rebounds as the Golden Bears (16-7, 13-3 SIAC West) completed a season-sweep of the Golden Tigers (12-11, 8-7).

Tuskegee led 14-7 with 10:43 left in the first half. But the Miles defense, which has continually showed this season why it has arguably the best defense in the country, put the clamps on the Golden Tigers. The Golden Bears allowed just one field goal over the final 10 minutes of the first half and went into the break with a 22-16 lead.

In the second half, Tuskegee tried to stay close. But Fuller showed his all-around game on consecutive possessions. First, he knocked down a 3-pointer that put the Miles lead back into double figures. on the defensive end, he got a steal, drove the right wing, used one hand to slam the hammer down on the Golden Tigers for a 40-27 lead with 10:57 left. It sent an already raucous crowd into hysterics and forced a TU timeout. The lead would never dip into single digits again from the point and would get as high as 20 points late in the game.

Riley Hamilton had 17 points and was the only player to score in double figures for Tuskegee. Jelani Watson-Gayle had 11 points and seven rebounds, Damian Archer added 10 points and five rebounds, and Jose Roman-Angueria - who was back in action after missing several games - finished with nine points and eight rebounds off the bench for the Golden Bears
