NU escapes Tennessee State

this could have been the first of the "guarantee" home games that a shorthanded Wildcat team let slip away, but Michael Thompson bailed them out. TSU led by as many as 8 with about five minutes left with Juice scored 10 straight points and NU took the lead for good on a Marcotullio three with 2:22 on the clock. Thompson finished with 31 points in 39 minutes and was the only NU player in double figures.

next up are the Seth Curry-less Liberty Flames, who last week lost to Clemson and Old Dominion by a combined 72 points.
