Soloman helps SC State edge Hampton 67-62
NORFOLK, Va. -- Eric Eaves scored 18 points, Ty Soloman hit a late 3-pointer and two important free throws, and South Carolina State edged Hampton 67-62 on Monday night.
It was tied at 60 with 1:28 left. After a Hampton miss, Soloman drilled a 3-pointer to go up 63-60. Quinton Chievous made a layup to cut it to one, and Hampton fouled three straight times to send Ed Stephens to the line. Stephens made both to make it a three-point game again. Hampton's Brian Darden missed a 3, and Soloman gathered the rebound, was fouled, and made both free throws for the final margin.
