History
Texas Southern opened the second half on a 24-2 run and never looked back as five players scored in double figures en route to a 103-68 win over CBS Houston on Saturday.
The Tigers scored the first 10 points of the contest for an early 10-0 lead to take control as Kenny Hunter set the tone in the paint with four points. CBS would counter with an 8-1 run to trail 11-8 but fellow post Grayson Carter would match Hunter's play in the paint from that point as he scored seven points to spark a 19-4 surge as the lead grew to 30-18 with 9:28 left. However, CBS would turn the tables and was hot from the field as they closed out the half on a 21-10 run to trail 40-33.
Two early baskets by CBS drew them to within five early in the second half but Zaire Hayes put the team on his back over the next five minutes. Hayes scored eight points followed by six from Kavion McClain as TSU forced four turnovers and held CBS to only one shot en route to a 24-2 run over the next 5:13 to claim a 66-39 margin. With the lead firm in hand, the Tigers closed out non-conference play in style as they surpassed the 100-point mark for the second time this season.
Everyone scored for the Tigers as Duane Posey scored 16 points while McClain and Carter followed with 15 points. Hayes added 13 while Hunter scored 10. Posey also grabbed nine rebounds while Hunter had seven.
TSU now turns its attention to SWAC play on Saturday, Jan. 4 as they'll host Southern at 5 p.m. inside the H&PE Arena.
