In their non-conference finale, the APSU men’s basketball team fell to the Florida A&M Rattlers 76-70, ending one of the nation’s longest streaks in the process.
Although the game may have only been a two-score loss, Tuesday’s contest was a demoralizing one for Governor fans, players and coaches alike. It seemed as though the Govs may be able to squeeze out the comeback with a late push, but the Rattlers kept APSU from accomplishing such a feat.
The Governors were participating in their second game in as many days, and such was evident early on. Just five minutes in, APSU trailed the Rattlers 10-5, forcing head coach Matt Figger to call his first timeout due to their stagnate offensive performance.
