Five seconds is all that was between the Tennessee State Tigers and a win over Jacksonville State. In that time, the Gamecocks, who had trailed for over 27 minutes of action drove up court, through all of Big Blue's defenders and into the hoop for a 77-76 victory to close TSU's home 2020-21 schedule.

Freeman led the team in scoring, rebounds, assists and steals with 29 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists and two steals, marking the second double-double of his career.

LAST TIME OUT AGAINST THE EAGLES
The Tennessee State Tigers fell to the Morehead State Eagles, 70-66 in the Gentry Center. 

Shakem Johnson led the Tigers for the fourth time this season in scoring with 18 points, five rebounds. Ravel Moody, Mark Freeman and Josh Linder rounded out the double-figure scoring corral summing a combined 37 points.

At the half, Morehead State led Big Blue by just two, 34-32. After the break, TSU's offense slowed to a halt, allowing the Eagles to go on a 12-0 run. The Tigers worked their way back to a 48-44 deficit before Morehead State's Cooper, Potter and Broome scored 31 more points to seal the Eagles' 11th straight win.
