• Nelson University led by as much as 14 points at one point, but the Tigers showed resilience, cutting the deficit to 65-60 in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, their efforts came up short as Nelson regained control late in the game.
• The Tigers were able to force 23 turnovers from Nelson, while committing only 7 turnovers themselves, a strong defensive effort. However, despite the turnover advantage, the lack of rebounds and Nelson's ability to score in the paint, with 42 paint points were difficult to overcome.

• With the loss, the Tigers now look ahead to their next game at home against University of North Texas-Dallas. The game is scheduled for Saturday at 2 PM, and it will be available to watch on the SAC Sports Network.
