TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (Interstat) — Two men’s NAIA basketball teams seeking momentum will meet Tuesday when the Oakwood Ambassadors visit the Stillman Tigers.

Oakwood (5-9) enters coming off an 80-72 home victory over Voorhees University on Saturday, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Stillman (6-8) also won its last outing, a 79-69 road win at Wilberforce on Saturday.

The matchup features a pair of key performers in strong recent form. Oakwood will rely on Joshua Barnett, who is coming off a season-high 23-point, eight-rebound performance in the win over Voorhees. Over his last two games, the guard is averaging 19 points and 7.5 rebounds.

He will be countered by Stillman’s Josh Price, who logged 40 minutes and scored 21 points in the Tigers’ win at Wilberforce. Price has averaged 16.5 points over his last two contests.

Oakwood’s win Saturday was a balanced effort, with Jordan Bell recording a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds and Naftal Morara adding 15 points. Stillman saw Adrelin Robinson score 16 points and Allister Dixon just miss a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds against Wilberforce.

The teams have faced one common opponent this season. Both secured victories over Voorhees University, with Oakwood winning 85-83 on Nov. 22 and 80-72 last Saturday, while Stillman earned a 75-71 win on Dec. 4.

Tuesday’s contest is the first of two regular-season meetings between the schools. They are scheduled to play again at Oakwood on Jan. 31.

Following this game, Oakwood will host Wilberforce on Thursday. Stillman’s next game is at home against Talladega on Saturday.
