NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The men's basketball game between Samford and Tennessee State on Saturday (Jan. 10) has been changed to a 3 p.m. starting time, TSU Athletics Director Teresa Phillips has announced.

The game, which will be played in the Gentry Center, was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. following the Samford/TSU women's game, but will now precede the women's game that is scheduled for 5 p.m.

The men's game early start will avoid direct conflict with the Tennessee Titans National Football League playoff game at New England that is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Tennessee State will be hosting the Samford teams for the first time as Ohio Valley Conference opponents.
