OAKWOOD COMES UP SHORT DESPITE ALEXANDER'S HOT SHOOTING

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jamarkus Alexander made nine shots, including six 3-pointers, Thursday night against Fisk University.

Unfortunately, he missed his last one and Oakwood University was unable to snap its 13-game losing streak.

Alexander's jumper with two seconds left rimmed out and Doyel Cockrill III hit two free throws with one second remaining as the Bulldogs outlasted the Ambassadors 83-79 in an important HBCU Athletic Conference game inside Henderson A. Johnson Arena.

Alexander's 3-pointer with just over 11 minutes left capped a 9-3 run and pulled Oakwood within 62-59.

Oakwood pulled within two points on six different occasions down the stretch, the last time with 43 seconds left on a pair of free throws by Jordan Bell that made it 81-79.

After getting a stop on defense, Alexander's jumper refused to fall with two seconds left and Fisk escaped with the victory after Cockrill's free throws to sweep the season series.
