TSU forward John Walker III, blocking a shot in the SWAC title game against Grambling, is playing in his third First Four game as the Tigers take on Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday.“For us it works,” TSU director of athletics Kevin Granger said. “It gives us an opportunity to compete with a team before we run into a No. 1 seed. It’s difficult to beat a No.

The Tigers, who won the SWAC tournament to earn the bid, are going for a third win in the First Four in as many years inside the University of Dayton Arena on Wednesday. The Tigers face Fairleigh Dickinson at 5:30 p.m. on truTV. “You’re the First Four, that’s what it means,” Granger said. “Everybody gets an opportunity to see those games because it’s not spread out. We love it, we enjoy it. And thankfully under coach Jones’ leadership we’ve had success in those games.”
