Men's hoops fall in day one of Black-Tie Classic

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Fletcher Bigham recorded 19 points and eight rebounds but a late run by Belhaven turned the tide for the Tigers, falling 77-89 on day one of the Black Tie Classic at Birmingham-Southern on Friday night. 

Four Sewanee players recorded double-digits for the night as Tre Corrigan tallied 16 points, Russ Marr added 15 points, and Rashaun Williams posted 13 points. 

The Tigers started out strong as they built themselves a 12-3 lead in the first four minutes of play. However, the Blazers responded with a 16-2 run to take the lead with ten minutes left on the clock. The next two and a half minutes remained scoreless for both teams but a breakaway by Bigham broke the scoring drought for Sewanee, as the Tigers carried on to post the next five points, gaining the lead again 20-19. The rest of the half featured a close contest as there were three ties of score in the remaining minutes. Sewanee held the lead by one basket going into halftime, 33-31. 

Sewanee again started out strong in the second half as they scored ten points in the first three minutes. The Tigers maintained a small lead at the beginning of the half and built a nine-point lead with a little over 14 minutes to go. Belhaven responded with a 16-point unanswered run to take the lead at 56-52 with 9:41 on the clock. The teams then traded leads and three ties over the next four and a half minutes. However, another late 16-point unanswered run by Belhaven turned the game in the Blazers favor as the Tigers were able to shrink their lead, falling 77-89. 

Sewanee collected 18 points off of turnovers and 11 second-chance points but were 8-for-29 outside the arc. Belhaven collected 26 points on fast breaks and their bench tallied 18 points. The Blazers also out-rebounded the Tigers, 49-28. 

Sewanee faces Brevard College on day two of the Black-Tie Classic in Birmingham, Ala. playing at 3 p.m. CT tomorrow, Nov. 18.
