Rattlers Dominate Wildcats on Senior Night

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. | Florida A&M men's basketball hosted their rival Bethune-Cookman on senior night and took care of business as the Rattlers won 84-73.

The Rattlers battled back and forth with the Wildcats throughout the first half until the Rattlers retook the lead 28-27 from a DJ Jones dunk, in which the Rattlers went on a 13-6 run to take a 39-31 lead into the half. The Wildcats battled back and brought the game within five points but could never get it any closer, and the Rattlers led by as many as 16 points. The Rattlers shared the ball better than any game all year as they had 26 assists on 32 field goals.

MJ Randolph Makes History

Guard MJ Randolph came into the game 7th on the Rattlers' all-time scoring list and scored the first bucket of the game to jump into 6th place, and later in the second half, Randolph cracked the top-five after a pull-up jumper extended the Rattlers lead to eight points. Randolph finished leading the team with 19 points.
