HOMEWOOD, Ala. – Duane Posey and Kenny Hunter both had double-doubles but a game-changing run midway through the first half was the difference as Samford defeated TSU 97-82 on Sunday.
TSU turned a 5-0 deficit to open the game into a 6-5 lead as Duane Posey scored four of the next six points to reverse course. Three-point shooting would become a factor from that point as the Bulldogs nailed consecutive treys to lead 11-10 but TSU hung tough as Posey's dunk kept them within range at 16-14. A Bulldog trey and pair of free throws upped their lead to 21-14 with 10:55 left but Kolby Granger's trey and two free throws from Posey sparked a 5-0 run as TSU trailed 21-10 with 9:53 left.
Samford connected on four consecutive three-pointers over the next four minutes to open up a 35-23 lead. TSU would cut it to 10 at 37-27 but the Bulldogs closed out the half on a 10-5 run to claim a 51-32 halftime lead.
The closest TSU would draw within the second half was 14 points early on but an 11-4 run upped Samford's lead to 20 as they held a tight grip on the lead until the end.
Duane Posey led TSU with a game-high 26 points and achieved a double-double with 12 rebounds as he was 14-of-15 from the line. Kenny Hunter also had a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards while Zaire Hayes and Granger added 12 and 11 points, respectively.
TSU is back in action on Sunday at New Mexico.
