History
A strong defensive effort midway through the first half sparked a big first half run as TSU claimed a 100-66 win over Texas A&M-San Antonio Monday night at the Fertitta Center.
Playing their second game in three days, the Tigers started out a little slow and the Jaguars took full advantage as they were red hot from beyond the three-point line within the first 8:19. TAMUSA was 9-of-15 from the field and 6-of-10 from beyond the arc as they claimed an early 26-21 lead.
The Tiger defense finally woke up over the final minutes as they outscored TAMUSA 27-11 over the final 9:15. Kavion McClain led the Tigers with seven points during that span as the TSU defense finally stifled the Jaguars as they finished the final 9:15 minutes of the half 3-of-8 on three-point attempts and 4-of-14 overall. Nine Tigers would score during that span en route to a 48-37 halftime lead.
It was even to begin the second half as TSU led 56-47 at the 14:24 mark. However, the Tigers went on a 17-5 run over the next 5:09 as McClain led the Tigers with six points. Once again, the team flashed its depth with six players scoring en route to a 100-plus night for the first time this year.
McClain led the way with 22 points, eight assists and three steals while Kenny Hunter scored 15 points with seven rebounds.
TSU is back in action on Sunday the University of Georgia for a 2:30 p.m. start.
