HOUSTON— The Grambling Tigers fell short of victory at Texas Southern on Feb. 12 and Prairie View A&M on Feb. 14.
Texas Southern 68, G-Men 65
The Tigers almost pulled this one out of the fire.
GSU trailed for the majority of the game before the Tigers began to claw their way back into the game. They trailed by as many as 11 points deep into the second half.
Texas Southern led 64-53 with 4:19 to play when the visiting Tigers embarked on “mission impossible” and they almost pulled it off. GSU even had a chance to win it when the G-Men cut the TSU lead to 66-65 with 11.7 seconds to play. But Tra’Michael Moton’s 3-point attempt was no good and the home Tigers escaped with the win..
Cameron Christan led the G-Men with 14 points and one rebound while Eric Parish added 13 points, four rebounds, two steals and one assist for GSU.
Lincoln Preparatory School product Chanse Robinson, who was playing only his second game of the season, had 11 points, three rebounds, and one assist for Grambling..
