TOUGALOO, Miss. - The No. 21 Tougaloo (Miss.) Bulldogs used a 51-point second half to post a comeback victory over No. 18 Freed-Hardeman, 82-76, on Friday night in Kroger Gymnasium.
The Lions (7-3) took a 38-31 lead into halftime, but Tougaloo shot 57.1 percent in the second half to rally for the win and avenge an 87-74 loss to FHU earlier this season. Freed-Hardeman also committed 25 turnovers in the contest and the host Bulldogs shot 37 free throws to FHU's 14.
Zack Frey posted his second straight double-double and third of the season with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Jesse Moulton broke out of a shooting slump by going 4-of-8 from 3-point range to score 18 points. Kyle Teichmann added 10 points off the bench.
FHU has now lost two straight games, both to ranked teams, with an exhibition loss to NCAA Division I Austin Peay State (Tenn.) University sandwiched in-between.
Freed-Hardeman returns to action on Friday, Dec. 11, when it hosts No. 13 Lee (Tenn.) University. FHU won the first meeting between the two schools, 90-86 in double overtime, on Nov. 23.
