The Tornadoes themselves in a similar situation on Friday versus Shaw University, trailing with just over 2 minutes to play and once again pulled out the victory, 69-66. Talladega capped off the undefeated week by beating Fayetteville State University, 54-47, in the final game of the HBCU All-Stars Challenge hosted by Morehouse College.
