Brown’s Double-Double Propels Firehawks Past Tigers  

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – The University of Tennessee Southern men's basketball won their fourth straight in a donnybrook defeating Campbellsville in a 76-74 game on Saturday.

Brady Brown led all scorers with 19 points. Kendall Wright added a career-high 18 points. Kavion Hancock pitched in 10 points. Brown secured 15 boards to complete a double-double.

UTS would take control of the opening half leading 41-35 at the break. The Firehawks and Tigers would battle tough in the final half. CU would close the gap and briefly take the lead with 10 minutes left to play. UTS would knot it up at 63 just before the final media timeout. UTS would lead 75-72 with under a minute to play, but four missed UTS free-throws would make the final play interesting. CU had one final chance to steal a home win, but their final shot would be off the mark.

UTS would shoot 30 of 58 for 52% from the field. There would be four lead changes and two ties.
