How To Watch Stillman Tigers In NAIA Tournament Final 16 Today

TUSCALOOSA, AL — The No. 8 seeded Stillman College men's basketball team (17-3) will take the court at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City today at 2 p.m. against No. 9 Saint Francis University (25-8) in the first game of the NAIA Final Site in the 83rd annual NAIA Men's Basketball Championships Round of 16.

This marks only the second time in program history, and first time as an NAIA member, that Stillman has made it this far into the postseason.

"Saint Francis does a good job sharing the ball," said Stillman head coach John Teasley. "Those guys do a good job of getting in the lane and getting their shooters the basketball. They're a tough team and sound defensively, so we're going to have to be sound on offense to match them. They have some great players that play hard, and they shoot the lights out. I look forward to seeing how our guys respond to that."

The Tigers' success will depend largely on SSAC Co-Player of the Year Trey Petty, who leads Stillman with 18.65 points per game on 50.6% shooting, 6.90 rebounds per game and 1.7 steals per game.
