GRAMBLING, La. - TSU doubled up Grambling State over the final 8:49 to break its three-game losing streak as they won 67-60 Saturday evening.
With TSU trailing 12-10 early in the second half, Grambling State went on a 12-2 run over the next 3:51 to extend its lead to 24-12. Grambling State would lead by double digits up until right below the four-minute mark but TSU outscored GSU 10-6 over the final 3:50 as Oumar Koureissi led the way with six points while Kavion McClain picked up a steal in the closing seconds and found Bryce Roberts for the score at the buzzer for 37-30 halftime deficit.
TSU continued to fight to open the second half as Duane Posey and Jaylin Jackson-Posey scored seven of the first nine points to spark a 9-4 run as TSU trailed 41-39. TSU would finally move ahead on Jackson-Posey's three-pointer at the 13:58 mark but the momentum was short as GSU went on a 7-0 run to lead 52-46 with 11:34 left. The three-point line would become TSU's friend over the next 3:08 as TSU made three treys to spark a 13-1 run as they reclaimed a 59-53 lead after Grayson Carter's trey.
Despite only recording one field goal over the final 6:34, TSU did its part on the defensive end and held GSU to only two field goals during that span while shooting 6-of-7 from the free throw line to record its first series sweep over Grambling State since 2022.
McClain and Jackson-Posey both finished with 13 points while Carter added 12. Kolby Granger grabbed 10 rebounds while Kenney Hunter and Kehlin Farooq had six. McClain also dished out six assists.
TSU is back in action on Monday at Southern for a live contest on ESPNU at 8 p.m.
