TUSCALOOSA, AL – After opening up the season with three straight wins at home, the Itawamba Community Colleges Indians have hit a three game skid on the road as they fell to No. 19 Shelton State 70-54 Monday night.
The Indians (3-3) battled with the nationally ranked Bucs early as Howard Thomas tied the contest midway through the first half. A lull late in the half paired with a trio of three-pointers allowed the Bucs to pull away and hold a 34-18 lead at halftime.
With under two minutes to play, the Indians pulled within 14, 68-54, but the Bucs managed to pull away and pick up the win.
Carter Sweat (Piperton, TN) and Ron Davis (Edwards) led the Indians with 10 points each Thomas grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds.
Marvin Jones led the charge for the Bucs with 17 points, followed by Jann Hilson with 14, Christopher Dudley with 13 and Taboris Griggs with 11.
