A reinvigorated Grambling team in the second half was quickly able to trim the deficit to 31-22. Texas Southern pushed the advantage back to double figures at 36-26 on a 3-pointer from John Walker III.

Grambling continued to scrap their way back, tying the game at 43 on Tra’Michael Moton’s runner with 7:12 left in the game. A PJ Henry 3-pointer put Texas Southern back in front 46-43.

Grambling got as close as four points but ultimately came up short.

Zahad Munford led the way in defeat for Grambling with 12 points. Jonathan Aku managed to finish with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Tra’Michael Moton chipped in 10 points.
