Atlanta, GA—The Albany State Golden Rams will face the Morehouse College Maroon Tigers in a pivotal SIAC matchup tonight at Forbes Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM, and both teams will be looking to gain momentum as the conference season heats up.
The Golden Rams (12-7, 9-3 SIAC) enter tonight's contest on a high note after an inspiring 68-64 upset win over reigning SIAC champions Clark Atlanta on Saturday, January 25. Albany State showcased resilience and determination, overcoming a 19-point deficit to secure the victory. Led by standout performances from
Shakur Poteat,
Cameron Evans, and
Blaise Wallace, the Golden Rams have now extended their win streak and are eager to keep building on their recent success.
Albany State is looking to reverse its fortunes against Morehouse, as the Golden Rams' last matchup against the Maroon Tigers on February 3, 2024, ended in a narrow 83-84 loss. The Golden Rams' most recent victory over
Morehouse occurred on March 6, 2020, and tonight presents an opportunity to end that drought.
The Maroon Tigers (9-8, 6-4 SIAC) are coming off a 79-70 loss to Fort Valley State on January 25. Despite the setback, Morehouse remains a formidable opponent, known for their disciplined play and strong defense. With the home-court advantage and a history of close games against Albany State, the Maroon Tigers will look to bounce back and protect their standing in the SIAC.
Tonight's game is a critical matchup for both teams as they fight for position in the SIAC standings. A win for Albany State would extend their win streak and solidify their status as a contender in the conference, while a victory for Morehouse would help them rebound from their recent loss and gain ground in the standings.
