THE LADY TIGERS AT A GLANCE
TSU is looking for its first win of the season on Thursday. The Lady Tigers are coming off a hard fought loss to Jacksonville State on Saturday in the home finale. The near-upset fell short and moved TSU to 0-20, 0-18 OVC. 
 
The TSU seniors have been the leaders for the squad. Andreana Wrister is turning in 14.7 ppg while Taylor Roberts averages 14.3 ppg. Jaden Wrightsell is almost averaging a double-double with 10.0 ppg and 7.1 rpg. Senior Breannah McCullah is the team's 4th leading scorer with 6.4 ppg.
 
TSU is averaging 49.5 points per game while shooting 34.5 percent from the field and 23.4 percent from three-point range.
 
The Lady Tigers are led by first year head coach Ty Evans.
 
LAST TIME OUT
TSU nearly knocked off JSU for the first win of the season but miscues in the final moments of the game, led to the Lady Tigers falling to the Gamecocks, 67-61, in the final home contest of the season. TSU led by as many as 11 in the third quarter and had a one point lead with less than one minute remaining but costly mistakes down the stretch led to the game slipping away. In her final game in the Gentry Center, Taylor Roberts led TSU with 24 points to go with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Andreana Wrister finished the game with 19 points while Jaden Wrightsell tallied 12 points, five rebounds and four steals. Jasmine Broner recorded a team-best seven rebounds in the game.

LAST TIME THEY MET
TSU got off to a slow start and despite nearly matching Morehead State point-for-point in the second half, fell to the Eagles 74-49 Thursday night in the Gentry Center.
