GSU Suffers Setback versus UAPB

GRAMBLING, La. | The Grambling State University men's basketball couldn't cool off a hot shooting Arkansas-Pine Bluff team, falling 86-70 at the Fredrick C. Hobdy Assembly Center on Monday night. 
 
Tra'Michael Moton had the hot hand for the Tigers, scoring 26 points with five rebounds, four assists and a steal. 
 
GSU (8-12 overall, 5-2 SWAC) struggled to limit UAPB (9-11, 4-3 SWAC) from three-point range. From tip-off, the Golden Lions were determined to live behind the arch, unleashing a barrage of three-pointers to build a commanding lead in the first half. 
 
In the opening period, UAPB attempted 22 three-pointers, knocking down nine (40.0 percent). For the game, the Golden Lions went 14-of-32 from deep. Grambling State, on the other hand, wasn't as dialed in from deep, going 8-of-28 (28.6 percent.) 
 
Arkansas-Pine Bluff had two players cross the 20-point threshold, with Kylen Milton pouring in 26 points and Joe French adding 23 points. French went 8-of-18 from the floor but was 7-of-14 from three-point range. 
 
The beginning of the game had the makings of a back-and-forth SWAC battle. With GSU trailing 14-11 with 13:36 remaining in the first half, UAPB used a 14-2 run over the next six minutes to grow its lead to 28-13. 
 
Grambling State never regained its balance, trailing for double digits the rest of the contest.
