AMERICUS, GA -- The South Georgia Tech Jets got the best of Albany Tech on Wednesday night.

Colquitt County’s Antwon Tuff missed an open look for three as the Titan men lost in Americus 71-69.

“I would give it to him again,” said Coach Sylvester Patterson in regards to Tuff’s missed three point shot.

Tuff and Tony Fears finished the game with 11 points each, but the Titans were forced to battle from behind all night. It was a miracle Albany Tech was trailing by only two late. South Georgia Tech opened up a 16 point lead in the second half before the Titans started trimming away.
