Tigers Fall To Miles At Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Classic

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Savannah State men's basketball dropped a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) inter-divisional game to Miles College, 65-53, on Saturday at the brand new Legacy Arena during the second game of the 2021 Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Classic.
 
The Tigers fall to 3-6 on the season and 2-2 in SIAC action. Savannah State sits in third place in the SIAC East Division standings, behind Morehouse and Benedict who leads the division with a 6-0 SIAC record. Miles improved to 7-3 with the win and 4-1 SIAC mark, holding onto first place in the SIAC West Division.
 
Miles picked up an early 7-2 lead in Saturday's game. At the 12:28 mark, Ayjay Plain dropped a field goal to cut Miles' lead to 10-8. But the Golden Bears responded with an 11-0 run over the following three minutes to push out to a double-digit lead.
 
With three minutes ticking away in the opening half, Justice Stanley dropped a field goal and followed it with two good free throws to open an 8-0 run for Savannah State cutting Miles' lead to low single digits into the half at 31-26.
 
A slow scoring start to the second half kept the game close. Midway through, Stanley made two free throws to cut Miles' lead to 40-37. But the Golden Bears responded quickly with a 15-5 run down the stretch to extend their lead to 55-42. The Tigers were unable to cut down the double-digit lead in the final three minutes.
 
Trey DeLoach led the Tigers with 10 points. Daryl Richardson and Stanley each put away nine points in the loss.
 
The Tigers head into the Holiday break this week. They return for a Dec. 30 road game against Clayton State. Tip-off in Morrow, Georgia is set for 2 p.m.
