The Tigers would get a layup and on the ensuing possession junior guard Micah Delph (Conway, Ark.) would force a steal and find a streaking Allen Buchanan. Buchanan took the Delph assist and slammed home a thunderous rim-rattler over a Shreveport defender. That dunk set the tone for the remainder of the first half.
