December 3, 2013 – ATLANTA – Austin Anderson scored 21 points and two other Maroon Tigers scored in double figures, but it wasn't enough to keep Morehouse from losing, 84-75, to the University of West Georgia Wolves.

Morehouse fell to 2-3; the Wolves pulled to 7-1.

Anderson went 7-of-13 from the field, with four three-pointers, and 3-of-4 from the line. His three-pointer, to start the game, gave Morehouse a brief lead. After that it was all uphill for the Tigers who trailed most of the game, including 38-28 at halftime.

The Wolves lead ballooned to 16 points midway through the second period, before the Tigers rallied to close it to six points, with seven minutes remaining.

That was as close as Morehouse would get. The Wolves put a 22-13 second-half rebounding edge to good use, converting it to a 13-2 second-chance-points advantage.

Robert Askew hit 5-of-6 shots from the field and the free-throw line, to finish with 15 points. David Buchannon poured in 10 points, to go with five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Joshua Simmons scored six points and hauled in five rebounds.
