NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Hornets men's basketball team heavy road schedule to begin the season continued with a stop in Nashville as Alabama State endured another cold shooting outing in a 68-46 loss to Tennessee State at the Gentry Center on Wednesday night.

Tony Armstrong was a bright spot for ASU, shooting 4-of-8 from the field to score a team-high 13 points.  Armstrong also pulled down seven rebounds and had two steals. 

Amir Warnock had a season-high 10 rebounds, Reginald Gee added eight points and Demetrius Houston made his Hornet debut and dished out a team-high four assists. 

Alabama State shot only 25 percent from the floor and trailed 40-13 at the break. 

The Tigers (8-2) were led by Jordan Reed, who scored 13 points.  TSU had 10 different players score as the team shot 47 percent from the floor. 

Next, the Hornets will get a rest of eight days before traveling to play at Ball State on Dec. 22 for a 7:30 p.m. tip.
