History
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Jaylen Wysinger had a career-night with 23 points as TSU used a late run in the final four minutes to claim an 80-69 road win at Alabama State Monday night.
The Hornets jumped out to a 15-8 lead early in the first half but Kavion McClain and Wysinger scored the next five points to slow the momentum down as TSU trailed 15-13. TSU turned to the three-point ball to jump start its offense as Wysinger nailed two straight triples followed by one from McClain for a 9-2 run and a 22-15 Tiger lead. The momentum would move back to the Hornets over the next few minutes as they answered with a 14-2 run to claim a 29-24 lead at the 3:26 mark. TSU would use the free throw line to its advantage to close out the half as they trailed 33-30.
Head coach Johnny Jones and staff made the necessary adjustments at halftime as there were three lead changes within the first five minutes. Kenny Hunter would move the lead back to TSU following a jumper as they led 40-39 with 14:56 left. Hunter score again for a 42-39 lead as TSU and ASU battled back-and-forth like heavyweight boxers over the next few minutes except the fact that TSU kept the lead in their corner.
A trey from McClain gave TSU a six-point lead with 12:20 left but ASU kept hanging around despite TSU's attempts to take a sizable lead on several occasions from that point. TSU managed to lead 57-50 with 8:36 left after a six-point outburst from Kolby Granger and they continued to keep the lead from ASU over the next few minutes despite ASU getting within three points on several occasions.
Ahead 65-62 with 4:09 left, Wysinger made his presence felt as he scored nine of the next 11 points over the next three minutes to give TSU a 12-point lead at 76-64 as the Tigers wrapped up their 25th win over ASU in the past 26 match-ups.
Wysinger scored a career-high 23 points while grabbing nine rebounds. McClain added 20 with five rebounds and four assists while Kolby Granger scored 16 points with eight rebounds. Kenny Hunter scored 13 with five rebounds followed by a four-block, six rebound night from Josh Farmer.
