Brandon King

It appears the long festering and inevitable breakup between the New York Knicks and Carmelo Anthony has finally been put out of its misery. That is because earlier today the Knicks agreed to send the 10-time all-star to the Oklahoma City Thunder to join forces with fellow stars, Paul George and reigning MVP Russell Westbrook.. In exchange for Anthony, the Thunder will receive center Enes Canter, forward Doug McDermott and a 2018 second-round pick (from the Chicago Bulls in the deal last season that brought in Taj Gibson and McDermott).…

Tennessee State stays perfect after Tampa Classic win

Brandon King

Although the Tennessee State and Florida A&M have met as recently as 2015, Saturday’s meeting in the inaugural Tampa Classic was a reprisal of their series in a Classic game that last happened in 2010 in the Atlanta Classic. A 6-play, 50-yard TSU first quarter drive proved fruitless, as it ended in fumble on the FAMU 33 yard line. Tennessee State would score on a subsequent possession on a 49-yard Lane Clark field goal to put the Tigers up 3-0. Florida A&M would score to start the second quarter on…

Tennessee State squeaks by Jackson State in Southern Heritage Classic

Brandon King

Tennessee State came into yesterday's 2017 Southern Heritage Classic fresh off a win over Div-1 Georgia State but also with history on their side as winners of the last 5 Classics. Jackson State rolled into the game licking their wounds from a 63-0 beat down from Texas Christian University. With the aforementioned factors, it would be quite easy to assume TSU would steamroll JSU, but that's why they play the game.
