CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.– Carlos Marshall scored a game-high 21 points and made the game-winning layup with six seconds left to lead Tennessee State (11-6, 3-1) to a 75-73 win over Southeast Missouri (4-13, 0-4) Saturday at the Show Me Center.

After that, Littlejohn missed a 3-pointer. Marshall, however, grabbed the offensive rebound and made a layup to regain the lead for the Tigers.
SEMO didn't get a shot off in the final six seconds and TSU escaped.

DQ Nicholas drained a 3-pointer to widen SEMO's lead to 39-23 wit 5:09 left in the first half before the Redhawks headed into the locker room ahead, 44-36.
SEMO managed to get another double-digit lead when Alex Caldwell sunk a 3-pointer to make it a 68-58 game at the 9:30 mark of the second half.
A pair of TSU 3-pointers narrowed that margin to four as the Tigers clawed their way back.
