Looks like Eli Thomas is not playing tonight. I'll get an update on him after the game.

Tigers got off to a good start offensively, with the first basket of the game by sophomore Aamir Simms, who scored a career-high 20 points in the last game to lead the Tigers. That was followed by buckets from Reed and Mitchell.

Skara hit a 3 a minute ago. Great to see him shooting well! He was 4-4 from the field in Saturday's win at UNCW.

TIGERS TRAIL 19-18 WITH 11:21 LEFT IN HALF.

Good grief Tigers can't get a stop on D! Never thought Barton College would score 42 in the first half.

Skara started the half with a dunk to cut the lead to 3, but all they have done since offensively is a Simms layup. Tigers trail by 8 now.
