DELTA STATE MEN HOLD OFF LIONS 84-80

CLEVELAND, Miss., – North Alabama made just one field goal in the final 5:09 as host Delta State outlasted the Lions 84-80 Thursday in Gulf South Conference men's basketball action. The second straight defeat and fourth loss in the last five games leaves UNA with a 7-7 overall record and 2-6 mark in GSC play.
 
After a three-point basket by Tavaras Tolliver tied the game at 73-73 at the 5:09 mark, UNA did most of its scoring at the free throw line while missing its next seven shots from the floor. Delta State took the lead for good on a pair of free throws by Devin Schmidt with 2:25 remaining. After the foul shots gave the Statesmen a 77-76 lead, DSU converted a three-point play to grab a four-point advantage.
 
Following another defensive stop, Schmidt connected on 1-of-2 free throws to make the score 81-76 in the final minute of play.
 
UNA got within two points with 33 seconds remaining on a basket by Dimario Jackson to end the field goal drought and cut the DSU lead to 82-80. The Statesmen, however, answered with two more free throws by Schmidt and the Lions missed a pair of three-pointers in the final 12 seconds.
 
For the game, North Alabama shot 38.9 percent from the floor, including a 6-of-28 (21.4 percent) showing from three-point range.
 
Delta State (11-3 overall, 6-2 GSC) got to the free throw line 46 times, connecting on 31 attempts. Five different UNA players fouled out, including starters Austin Timms and Sharwyn McGee. Schmidt led DSU with 26 points.
 
Tolliver also scored 26 points to lead UNA. The total is a new career-high for the sophomore from Scottsboro. Jackson added 18 points for the Lions while Johnell Ginnie just missed a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds.
 
UNA will play at Mississippi College on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. on the MC campus in Clinton, Miss.
