ASU (16-8,12-3) only shot 21 percent in the second half compared to 43 for TSU, but the big difference in the game was the three-point field goal discrepancy.

In tonight’s action, ASU only made one of their 14 attempts, while Texas Southern who was only shooting 29 percent from beyond the three point line hit six of their 19 attempts, outscoring ASU 18-3 on three’s.

ASU forced the Tigers into 17 turnovers, which led to 19 points, but was out rebounded 37-30 by the Tigers.

ASU was able to sneak into the locker room at halftime with a 33-31 lead.

The difference in the first half was TSU’s ability to knock down three of their 10 three point field goals while the Hornets missed all four of their attempts.

Lewis did have a big first half setting his career-high in the game’s opening 20 minutes of action with 17 points on seven of nine field goals.

He also hit three of his four free throw attempts.
